Homecoming, who's going?

Just curious to see who, from this list plans on going. I will be there with a couple of Olds buds, my '71 will be in the car corral if not sold by then.

I'll be there in the swap meet area selling. Look for my stained glass and signs.

^^ The part selection was weak last year.

I'll be there with the Aleros like I've been for the past 6 years now. Stop by and say hi and see the president's Gold OSV

If anybody going out needs something to do on Friday afternoon, we will be holding our show in the Ramada Inn's parking lot (on Saganaw Highway) from 9am to 3 PM. It's free admission and it's all Aleros? IDK if Jim Kintz will be bringing his worked 1969 Cutlass.

Go in the driveway between the Hotel and the Farm Admin building. At 3, we convoy to the RE Olds Musuem.

The hotel is right down the road from the Capital Building (I forget the name of the road) but it runs behind the building and goes straight up to Saganaw

The swap meet has been getting smaller, economy plus the internet I think is contributing to that. Copied and printed my avatar, will stick it to my shirt for recognition.

From what I could tell last year and the way the dealers were acting, the ecomony hit Michigan very very very very hard. There was NO batering and the prices where very high

Going to make the trek with my two boys. It is a 6 hour drive so it will be a nice way to spend the father's day weekend.

I'm planning on making the trip from Indy as long as the weather holds out. This will be my 1st visit, so I hope it's worth the ride.

If it is not worth the ride, I guarantee you that there is not an Oldsmobile meet anywhere that is.

I plan on going as well with another good Olds friend. We hit the swap meet first thing, then check out the cars on the way out. I will be looking for some parts to finish my car so we can get it on the road over the next few weeks.
