I had fun meeting the 3 others that showed and really liked the thick fog drive all the way there.

Here is the whole album

Great pics guys... nice to see you enjoyed the rest of the event and not just the car show... Glad you could come!!! Next year you all should stay for the concerts and a balloon launch.

"Lucifer" sat in the heat complaining it was cold!

Here he is caught on film ... http://picasaweb.google.com/kappasky76/SpiedieFest .. 'left' click on picture to enlarge and see his horns ... if you dare.

I stayed for the hot air balloon ride and can tell you it was breath taking. So quiet and smooth. If anyone ever gets a chance to go up ... do so!

It was a good group and a fun time. I could not believe all the vendors and activities going on. This was ...Hughhhhhhh!

Here are some more pics... I did not take these... they were found on a local car site.

Over 300 cars came each day both days... different classes each day... these were all from Sunday.









This next one was best of show...

After the cars cleared the field... the balloons came in... over 40. The 3 day event brought in over 140,000 people...

And there were hundreds of vendors these pictures do not begin to show.
Throw in the live music and food and we are talking 'Hughhhhhhha!

I think I spoke with the guy that took all those shots, too. We were discussing his most excellent camera that I was longing for.
