So you can scratch Margo & I off the attendies list for this years event. To say I'm a little disappointed is an understatement.

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday afternoon,

Dave I know, but Kalamazoo does host the Street Rod Northern Nationals this September 11-13 as you know! Anyone that would like to join us for that one is welcome to come on over to Kalamazoo!

Duggans Irish Pub dugganshome
If you can stay....I highly recommend staying for lunch at the famous Duggans located on Woodward Ave. A great atmosphere with 2 levels and opened windows to watch the cruisers go by and feel the breeze. Shopping for souvenirs on this day is also better as everything goes 1/2 off
