Everyone should be packing up or rolling to the show today!
Well the show was OK this year. Good crowd Saturday. Most of the regular vendors were there. RON F's Parts had the mini-store there. John from Midwest had a small spot.
Kevin Emdee (Starr Electric) had some nice electrical and tool offerings. I picked up a pair of new front lights for my M37. Anyone has a M38 before SN MC17856 Kevin has a nice complete instrument cluster with all the right pieces including the 95 ohm resistors.
The Red Arrow, which has downsized quite a bit since Kevin Kronlund passed on, were there. And of course the Midwest Military Vehicle Association (Southern Wisconsin Folks) was there IN FORCE and cooked a wonderful dinner Sat night. Tom Zat's Alpha Heaven crew were there in strength as well. Don't forget his MV Get Together MIL FEST Sep 13-15, 2013 http://www.alfaheaven.com/MilitarySection/Party.html in Aniwa, WI.
Our own Jon Ramsdell was open for business there as well. Lots of M series stuff to pick from.
Larry Hanke was also there.
Weather was cool and gray to partly sunny Sat. A few sprinkles Sunday and again gray to partly sunny then about 3:00 PM got clear blue skies.
