It was fun!
And Carolyn and Ken know what they are doing. It was a pleasure working with them, and all the members that volunteered their time to help out.
We had good flathead weather and then we had some rain. But it all worked out. We had happy bus tours and some great historical seminars by the Henry Ford Heritage Association. (they will be traveling to Auburn in 2024 by the way)
We are grateful for those that attended.
I wish more had taken the opportunity to participate in the after the Meet Motor Muster at Greenfield Village over the weekend, as the theme was the Ford Flathead.
The only complaint that I have is that of all the items at the swap meet there wasn't an item that I needed to purchase.
Thanks for attending. Remember, a group of people can plan an event, but it isn't an event until the participants attend.

James R, thank you for the kind words. We were involved with Bruce in the planning for over a year, but it truly takes a team of volunteers on site to make everything happen. Sincere thanks to all who gave up chunks of their meet time to work at registration, merchandise and raffle sales, operational check, tabulation, trophy assembly, and much, much more. Your dedication made the meet a success.

Always a pleasure to spend some time with you and Velma; we are glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Ken, Carolyn, Bruce, Marisa & Rick Claybaugh and all who worked their butts off for this meet, and what you saw at the meet was just the tip of the Iceberg of the efforts put forth. FOR all who read this and enjoy Early Ford V8's, the payoff for these people and others not mentioned is "Participation" SO please, please for futures shows please help keep events like this alive by showing up and participating in events like this!!!

Re: Dearborn 23
 

I agree whit all that has been said, Thank you to all!

Re: Dearborn 23
 

A GREAT Dearborn meet and I agree with all that has been said as well. A little rain did not bother many and the area needed the rain anyway.

Ford Folks,
The Early V8 meet was very good! The team kept us busy the entire week! Then the Motor muster at Greenfield village topped things off. We appreciate the efforts to make the show worth the trip!

Regards,
Chris and Cheryl
