February 25 and 26, They had all of the usual activities and a great Friday night Hospitality party. Many, many nice door prizes were given away. This is a small club with some very dedicated members that do a great job every year. People s choice show on Saturday included according to my count 25 Corvairs and one Corvair powered air plane under construction. Out of the 25 Corvairs 6 were Rampsides, very unusual for a show of that size. The person in charge of weather really came through. It was a great weekend visiting with our old and new Corvair friends and seeing some Corvairs we had not seen before. We saw no signs of the oil spill. PAGE 5
