2008 Highlights Thursday - July 10th 1 PM Hospital/Nursing Home Visitation -We had a nice turn out of both cars and patients with ice cream for all. 3 PM Crosley Talk - Several interesting talks on Crosley repairs. 7:30 PM Fireside Chat - small turn out at the fire but several nice group formed close by.   A bit warm for close fire sitting. Friday - July 11th Flea Market- First year for Friday and Saturday sales was well received.  Several vendors that would not have attended because of Saturday commitments were on hand.  Most all vendors reported good sales. CAC Trading Post - Another new feature for 2008, many took advantage of  the chance of selling a few extra parts without having to sit at a flea market space.  For a $2 fee and a $10 sellers fee many parts changed hands with no effort by the seller. 10 AM-12 PM Tour - This turned into a ladies trip to a local Christmas Shop, Crosleys were optional. 12:30-1:30 PM Ask the Experts - Several talks on restoration. 2 PM Skill-A-Thon - Lots of car games. 5 PM Road Rally - Around 32 Crosley paraded through Wauseon and ended up at Tiny's (local ice cream shop).  We had a few drop out for assorted problems, but everyone eventually made it to Tiny's or back to the fairgrounds. 7:30 PM Informal Chat - nice discussion with a few of our large vendors showing off some of their new projects and products. Saturday - July 12th Flea Market- Vendors were a little slower getting out of bed since they had been selling for a day already, but most were open for business by 8pm.  A couple of new vendors pulled in that couldn't get there on Friday.  In general the vendors liked the slower pace of 2 days so they could spend more time talking Crosley and helping answer questions. Silent Auction - lots of donations and generous bidders.  Meet Registration - We were down a little this year but not as much as we had feared.  We had a good turn out with a lot of first timers, several are already making plans for 2009. CAC Trading Post - new items were being added all the time so you had to keep an eye on that area. Car Show - was down a little but estimates were still over 100 Crosleys running around with some only around on Friday. Something for everyone was shown. Annual Meeting and Award Ceremony - Dave was re-elected without opposition. All the normal meeting stuff about the state of the club (Good) and plans for next year (more Thursday activities and a Craft area for the ladies were mentioned).  The teenager that was selected as our first Youth Project candidate along with his mentor.  He was presented a rolling chassis and assorted other parts to start working on with more parts to come as needed. Trophies and many door prices were then handed out. Banquet - Well attended (we do like to eat) and one of the best ever.  This gives us all for one last chat with old and new friends before we hit the road for another year.
