Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of those who helped make the Iowa rally a great success this year. Lots of new faces as well as old timers. Really seemed to be some great comraderie with everyone having a fine time and a fantastically wide array of vehicles too. 97 trucks were registered with over 80 vehicles in the parade and parked on the town square. We wonder sometimes how the weather just happens to work out-it must be the influence from all of you. 16 years and its never rained during the parade. George Farrier's and Gordon Maney's talk at the banquet were especially enjoyable. We even showed a rally video from the 1st rally-hard to believe-but 15 years ago. Quite a number of folks who had been here for all 15. All of us here appreciated seeing your kind posts on the forum and the great variety of photos you took.
We had the day off yesterday for a little R& R and now back in the shop to catch up. Will be posting some of our own photos on our website this too, watch for them. Hope ya'll come back again next year. Thank you again for making all of our jobs so enjoyable!
