2016 September 17 – Boscobel Veterans Memorial Car Show (1st Annual)
This was basically a car show set up in South Western Wisconsin in the town of Boscobel. The Local VFW Post got a couple of acres of land donated for a Veterans Memorial Park. The town already has a De-Commission M60 Tank on display a few blocks north of the location (they may or may not move to this location). There is a picture of the Model of the Monument they wish to build in the photo album on our Face Book Wall.
For a first time turn out, there was over 80 Vehicles and 2 HMVs. A former Red Arrow M715 and my CUCV II.
2016 September 18 – Open Streets at Penn Fest
Another Car Show in Richfield, Minnesota. This was a big block party that ran down Penn Ave in Richfield from the Cross Town (Hwy 62) south to 73rd. We set up in front of CVS just north of 66th and Penn.
Louie had his MB and MBT plus his wife Gloria (the Supervisor) drove the Minnietonka Jeep; Verne drove his GPW and I with the CUCV II. We had a very prime spot and setup.
2016 September 24 – Cruise for the Troops
This was originally an invite from the CAF and they were hoping for more people to help from their own organization, plus maybe some more from ours. They cancelled out on Face Book announcement on Wednesday of the week of the show. So I wasn’t going to go either. But then I saw the that Don Gunderson had sign up. So dug out the CUCV and went. But Don rode a Motorcycle and was going on the ride! The CAF didn’t set that part up for us or they were not aware of it. So I was on display, talked to a few people gave out a couple pamphlets.
2016 October 01 – Prior Lake Maneuvers / Pumpkin Run
Mike Dyer and John Bizal got together and plan out a full day of Convoy thru the countryside and BBQ at the end of it. We had 22 HMVs in the Convoy that started in Prior Lake, visited an Apple Orchard in Northfield, a Brewery in Montgomery, a Winery near New Prague, a Pumpkin Patch on the way back to Prior Lake and ended up at the Bizal Ranch for a great BBQ.
