Thanks to the weatherman's report of hail and rain for the day, we only had a small showing of vehicles, and of course the weather turned out to be awesome!
Kudos to Joe's Crab Shack, The "Fables" who entertained us all day with their Beatles and 60's - 70's Music, Guitar Center of Lone Tree for loaning us a PA System, O'Meara Ford for allowing us to display the Broncomobile, Suzi and Warren from the National Guard who came to lend-a-hand, and our vendors Scott from American-National Insurance and Jason from Auto Appraisal Network, who made the trip all the way from Wyoming!
