Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 17, 2021 for the
FIFTEENTH Annual Texas MB Owners GTG!
We'll caravan in from our various cities for lunch at Woody's Smokehouse on the Northbound side of I-45 in the reserved dining room. Woody's will reserve parking for us in their large lot on top of the hill and just to the side of Woody's. After lunch, we'll head to Fort Boggy State Park for the Show and Shine.
Admission to the park is $3 for adults, free for children 12 years and younger.
We'll hand out awards at the Show and Shine based on People's Choice voting. The categories are Best Vintage Model (pre-1990 vehicles), Best Young Classic (1990-99), Best 2000-2009 Model, and, Best 2010-present Model.
If you want to bring parts to sell or trade, please feel free to do so.
Let me know if you're coming so I can let Fort Boggy know how many to expect. Reply to this thread and on this evite link:
