Default 2010 Pacific Northwest 356 Bull Session

It appears that I will be in town this weekend June 5 and 6. Saturday morning Denny Aker of Aker's Porsche Repair on Broadway will be hosting once again the Northwest 356 Bull Session at his workshop and museum in Bothell, WA. I will be arriving early and regretfully because of a prior committment must leave early. Parking for non 356 Porsches is out in the back lawn. (See photograph below, behind the 356s and grove of trees) If we make a concerted effort to arrive sometime together, we could keep the 993s grouped on the lawn. Admission was $15.00 when Denny last hosted the event in 2008. This includes lunch and beverages. I will PM the address to those interested in attending.

That's just part of his collection space. He has a separate shop space with a half dozen 356 cab and Speedsters restoration projects.

If the weather is decent Saturday morning I will be down at Redmond Town Center. From there anyone interested in heading up to the 356 Bull Session is welcome to follow. Officially it starts at 10 a.m. and goes on until 3 or 4p.m.

Is it just on Saturday? I know the weather is up in the air & I really want to see his place!
I was planning on going to ERTC this Saturday, & Griot's is also having their "Grand Opening" that day. WAY to much going on this weekend!!

So how was it? The weather turned to POOP, so we hung out with some friends instead.

Attendance was down probably due to the weather earlier in the morning. Those who did attend had a great time. Two years ago when Denny hosted the last Bull Session event here, there were over 400 in attendance, way more than the group wanted. Last year, the event was held at Griot's in Fife where attendance was uncertain because of the venue. Here are just a few of my photographs during the day.

Just a few more photographs from Saturday. Sorry for the misdirection on the day of the Bull Session.
