Well, have a blast guys. I would really love to come but, just like last year, I have to be out of town and I am pretty disappointed about missing out.

Post pics for us who wish we were there!!

Wish we could be there, too.

Have a couple of cold ones for us.

And play some Beastie Boys instrumentals off of The In Sound From Way Out!

WOW, what a nice time!! We drove our 944 down from MKE, and found 20+ P cars at Ideola's Garage. Every person we met was great, and the variety of vehicles, people and farm animals made for a very good time.
Thank you Dan, family, and sponsors for a truly fantastic time!!

So glad you made it! Many more pix to follow. Here's the group shot. 41 people in this photo, but there were at least another 20 there. We had somewhere between 23-25 Porsches show up, not counting my collection, and at least another 12-15 cars with enthusiasts who weren't able to bring their p-car.

Thanks for hosting, my son got a big kick out of it too. Especially having his car there and being able to talk about it.

Photos contributed by attendees:

Our Pyrenees, Maximillian Maximus and Sophie, taking attendance as more enthusiasts arrive


The weather was great, about 72F with cloud cover most of the day, but the sun broke through just after lunch. Perfect temp, perfect breeze, and as perfect a day for an outdoor event as you could hope for!


Yours truly, Larry Decker, and Chuck Allard conducting the Gimmick Concours Awards Ceremony

And we had a great evening for a bonfire!
