I spent much of the day today getting old blue ready. She don't get out much anymore so had to do a little maintenance. She's ready now and so am I!!! I think I'll be in spaces 10,11 again this year along with Dennis and Todd Tessman. Got my registration in late but called Ron and he said he'd hold my spots.
Hope to see you all at The Greatest Show on Earth!!!

I will be there for my 16th year. Arriving on Tuesday and leaving when I run out of money. It was so hot last year my mini bike conked out from the heat. It won't be making the trip this year.

I'm looking for a decent original paint Tokheim 300 with either blue or yellow sides and top. Prefer no doors but otherwise complete. Will consider anything for the right (cheap) price. Anyone bringing one, let me know?

I'm coming for sure and this time I'm bringing the Warden! She wants to see for herself, just what all this fuss is about! DB--you'll have to be sure and make it as I have told her all about you and some of your posts have her curiosity up!
If you see this homely old face in the crowd and theres a really good looking sweety hanging with him-- well don't be shy and step up and say "HI" to a couple of down to earth people from North Dakota!----KEVIN
