State Fairgrounds this coming weekend is the Midwest car show and swap meet. It usually brings some pretty good swappers. Maybe you can find a needed part for that MG you are working on before the snow flys (or is that snow FLIES).

Awards are given out early at Hugo as the award winners are then asked to move their vehicles to the front lot. Most of us stay for the pig roast that happens at 2:00 so we saw some people leaving around 3:00. The award winners were some very cool rides and some that I have not seen before. Was well worth the trip.

hmmm…. 36 hour day…. more time for the cars…rrrmmm rrrmmm

My wife had made plans to go with a friend to the fairgrounds to the Arts & Crafts Fair–which I thought was like quilts and needlepoint but is actually stuff devoted to that architectural period. And some friends of ours were having a house warming at 4 in Mpls. Somehow we thought we could fit the car show in between the two but given it’s 40 minutes each way from my house there was no way. I was ready to leave by 2:00, printed directions off mapquest, then saw on the website that trophies were being awarded at 1:00. Though I had charged my camera battery and was ready to see some great cars, I thought there was a good chance it might be like Sunday afternoon at Back to the ’50s, with a lot of the participants gone or going home by mid-afternoon.

Maybe someone else snapped a few pics and if the Northern Lights website posts any, I’ll post a link.
