Default My region had our 50th Anniversary gala this weekend (pic heavy!)

Heart o' Dixie Region PCA, located in Huntsville, AL. We had a really great even thanks to untold planning by our ever dedicated president.

We met at 11:00am at an old haunted mansion, parking by year in the field in front of the house. Mingled among the cars, in the house and with one another until lunch was served. After that, we had a Porsche Police car escort a parade of 105 Porsche across town to a hotel located beside the Space & Rocket Center.

Everyone kind of did their own thing for a couple hours until we met back inside the hotel for hors d'oeuvres, fellowship and a presentation on photography skills (with lots of great car photos and stories) from Leonard Turner from Panorama.

Sitting down for dinner, we had a host of guest speakers, from past and current local and regional presidents to Manny Alban to Homer Hiccum to a rep from PCNA.

That was the quickie bulletpoint version of what we did, I guess the story is best told by a gang of pics!



















That's Manny Alban on the hood of the cop car, btw...























Sorry, I'll quit for now...

Yeah bill, I think both the white/red Rgruppe car and the light green early car I pointed out were Musik Stahdt.

Weather was perfect!

Thanks Bart! Your car looks great with the 02s. I'm with Cactus, I'd love to have that long hood red car with a 3.6 in it.
