Ok, I'm in! MAFCA NW regional meet in Bend, OR

[montanafordman]

After kicking the idea around and some procrastinating I finnally got my hotel reservations and sent off my registration for the NW regional MAFCA meet in Bend, OR this coming September. This will be my first Model A event outside of my local club so I"m excited! I'm looking forward to meeting some of you ford barners out there! It will be nice to put a face to some of the regulars I've come to know of from this forum over the last couple years. Who else is planning to attend?

[700rpm]

I'll be there,but how will we find each other? My reg # is 123.

[amdriven2liv]

We will be in Bend that weekend. Not just for the Meet though. Wife and I will be looking for where the most are parked. Probably the Riverhouse, since they are the Host for the event. Sadly, we will be "A" less that weekend.

Might I suggest making a sign with your Forum handle for the windshield?

I don't have a registration number yet, I just sent in my application today. I'll be driving my coupe down which is in my profile picture album. It would be neat if we could get a fordbarn pin or something, even a sticker to put on my MAFCA name tag or something. At 32 I'll be one of the younger guys there so that might help figure out who I am Then Again I don't have much hair left either so maybe not!

Thats a good idea! I might even print out the ford barn logo with my forum handle on some adhesive paper, or laminate and tape it to the corner of my windshield. (I'm assuming Ryan wouldn't mind me copying the forum logo to use for the weekend, for this purpose)

That's the plan. If I have any trouble keeping up its going to be Alan's fault. (For those that don't know, He is a club member who graciously loaned me an engine to get me running until mine is rebuilt. He is also traveling down there with the group)

[amdriven2liv]

Another suggestion. PM each other where you are staying, and maybe, your cell numbers so you can meet up.

Some of the folks here might be staying at the same motel. Great group to run around with for the weekend!

Looking forward to enjoying traveling with you young’uns. We are leaving a day earlier and will meet up with the rest of you at the first stop, in Hood River Oregon.

We need Fordbarn T shirts!!!!

[31 A4door]

Exciting ! I know last year I was able to attend my first Model T event outside my local club as well and it was a Hoot! Have fun, my "A" won't be ready for any touring for at least another year.

Wish I could be there especially since it is our future home. But alas, duties elsewhere.

[Fred K-OR]

We will be there. We are #39. Yes it is a great place to meet new people in the "A" business. Last year in Boise a bunch of Barners got together one afternoon to chat and get better acquainted. Maybe could do the same this year. If I remember, someone put up a sign about the Barners event close to the registration booth.

[31 Vicky]

We will be there with the group from Sonoma A's, will be fun.
Registration number 234 staying at the Riverhouse.

A's Always

Hey Montanafordman,

You'll have a GREAT time! We went to the Boise meet last year. It was our first meet and we loved it! The cars were great, the tours fun and the people fantastic!! We couldn't get enough of it.

For those at the meet we printed off the logo on sticker paper and cut them out. We placed them on the message board and people could get them when they picked up their registration packet and stick them on their name tag. That way it didn't matter if you were with or without your car. As long as you had your name tag, people could recognize you as a Fordbarner. PM me and we can make arrangements to send you the file if you want. That way you won't have to recreate it from scratch. It has a place for people to write in their Fordbarn name.

I checked with Ryan. He says it's OK to use the Ford Barn logo as long as nobody's making any money off of it. Anybody want to make some stickers? I was going to print some window signs, but if somebody can do stickers, that's a neat idea too.

I'm in No. 6, Riverhouse With the Tow Truck Man!!!

[Jim Boehmke]

IN the 80's we drove to a Model A meet in Bend, OR.
On the back of my Model A I put a big sheet of white cardboard on the rear of my bumper mounted leather trunk. On the cardboard I had in big black letters,
"Mend We Must, Bend Or Bust"
There must have ben a hundred cars that passed us with thumbs up and hands waving. We went through many states, into Canada, Victoria Island, drove the A on to a ferry boat,drove Mucho many miles and on the return trip to California, 5 miles from home, the crankshaft broke in half at on the center main. I still consider that one of the luckiest days of my live. If that baby would have busted in Canada, I'd still be up there!!

Maybe Ford Barn members could meet one morning at the Old Mill district. This would be a nice parking lot on a week day morning to meet at. (Or the mall parking lot across from the river house, but, that's just a lot!)

That's kind of on the wrong side of the river. If you look across the river to the right, in the photo, there is a big parking lot. That is the lot for the Mall, but also for the theatre, so in the morning would be pretty empty.

It would be more accessible.

Pretty much any of those in the Old Mill would work.

Even the River Bend park, on the far left with circle drive. There is a handy restroom there!

I am going round the Bend also, hopefully will bring 3 other cars from MT with me. It would be fun to get together one day and put some faces with the handles.

Mark seeing your from western MT Are there any 1930 Montana Liscense plates available. My son lives in Columbia Falls will be heading that way around July 12 for a week or so. See you in Bend Sept.

[Fred K-OR]

Hey ya all! Where ya gona meet in Bend for sure? Maybe someone could post a sign by the registration desk for a sign up or something. I think they had something like that last year in Boise. Hope to see you all there.

[160B]

See you there, I will be judging vehicles in areas 18, 19, 20 and 21, helping run the Hubley race on Thursday and with my fellow club member on Wednesday putting on the seminar "Servicing your speedometer" we put this seminar on at the 2010 Meet in Vancouver.

See you there, have a safe trip and keep the oily side down!!

[700rpm]

I'll be there in my black 29 business coupe, and I'll put this sign on my windshield. Stop by and say hello!

[amdriven2liv]

I see the Grand Tour stops at Crane Prairie. Dang. We will be camping there, but wont be parked until after you folks have already been there!

We would feel privileged to have the you folks drive your cars up to us! LOL!

[John LaVoy]

I'll be there with the Roadster Pickup.
