As John mentioned.......

A few of us went to BMX Garry's on Wednesday morning. Garry was most welcoming to our club. Despite the incident which occurred. I had actually been to Garry's before, Shane introduced me to Garry. Thanks, Shane! There is a group picture of us at Garry's building. Someone has it has it on their phone. I will have to get that from them. [this post was last edited: 6/27/2017-13:01]

We had a blast! Thanks again, Garry for letting us dig! Sean was also at Garry's but not in the picture. [this post was last edited: 6/27/2017-11:03]

Trophies..

I wanted to post an up-close picture of the trophies that Chad had special made. Chad worked very hard coordinating the making of the trophies and his work really paid off. They looked excellent! Thanks again, Chad!

The Most Innovative award went to Phillip Muller for his commercial Eureka canister with the Don Clark power nozzle.

And another one of..

Ken and Houston. We had really nice weather! I was afraid it was going to be hot.

Speaking of Houston....

Here are three of his very nice Kirbys. A classic Omega, 510 and his Dual 80.

Still more of the cleaning competition...

Luke is running one of his Concepts that he had for sale. Scott is running an early Electrolux and Ken Hedrick is using his Sliver King that he just purchased.

Great memories.

Keep them coming.

I'm sure the next newsletter will be

a real thrill. Sam was unable to attend. But, he'll be receiving lots and lots of information and photos.

Banquet!

No one was required to dress up! Some of our members were in shorts. The banquet has scaled down considerably from previous years and we may do things a little differently next year.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I generally wear a shirt and tie.....................

however, Since I was flying with very little luggage, that would not have been an option this time.
I'm usually most comfortable, actually, in a suit and tie or jacket. Just me.

 

[kloveland]

I agree! People should feel comfortable in what they wear.
