What a fun little town! A few of my fellow club members had decided on
attending this small Texas town festival located about 30 miles East of
Austin. The weekend was absolutely fantastic with temperatures in
the mid 70's for this time of year along with bright sunshine. Jeff McD and Tim W brought out their WWII 1/4 ton jeeps and
I rode my motorcycle to put it in the show as well. Jeff was
outfitted as a recon soldier and his newly finished M1919A6 looks
fantastic. Tim outfitted his jeep as an ambulance complete with
stretcher and red cross insignia. These two members were definitely
a 'hit' as far as the car-show went with no less than 10 or so people at
any given time looking at their vehicles, taking pictures or talking about
'their experience'. Their group was so well liked, the two of them
won a second place award for "Best Group". They were beat
out by the Ford Club that had no less than 6 Model A's all from 1931.
Me on the other hand decided to ride my 1999 BMW F650 motorcycle to
the festival and put it in the show as well. My only competition came
from a 1983 Yamaha ST500. In the end, I won a "Hogeye Festival" refrigerator
magnet for his participation.
In addition to the many vehicles from a variety of clubs, there were
multiple food vendors, arts and crafts displays and music. Overall,
it was a fun event for such a small town and the three participants had a
blast. |
