The NY-PENN Military Vehicle Collectors Club will be having it's annual picnic at our farm outside Auburn, NY at 1 PM on 27 July, 2013.

The meal will be catered roast chicken and pit smoked BBQ ribs with sides etc. Soft drinks provided, otherwise, bring your own cheer but remember this is a family event.

All MVs welcome. Early arrivals, late departures and overnight stays (in RVs, your tent, our tent, MVs etc) welcome. Weather permitting, there will be a bonfire that night.

All tracked vehicles must stay on the shop floors or driveways....(don't ask)

Door prizes, awards for oldest and youngest members, farthest traveled, lightest and heaviest vehicle (sorry, tanks excluded), oldest and youngest vehicles, ladies choice etc.

Heck, if it keeps raining the way it has been maybe we'll take Tanklady's DUKW and JimK's Stalwart and V100 swimming in a bean field. And yes, Tanklady's M41A1 will be here and there will likely be other armor.

Bring your own chair and a sense of humor.

Lance - I'm glad you are keeping info available on this, I know it's tough for Becky at the moment.
I will try to make it.


Also, do you have any details on the Bouckville car show, end of June - new this year, I saw Lorna this weekend and apparently they are looking for a military showing too.

Thanks.
