Fine, Fun, and Finger-pickin'

A great Friday at the convention!  Thunderstorms were forecast but never materialized.  Beautiful Concours cars were on the lawn alongside Cedar Lake.  Fun and games took place in the parking lot (Back Seat Driver Contest, Junior Gymkhana, and the Slow Drag Races).  More and more Corvairs arrived hourly, for the biiig Car Display tomorrow.

Among the tech sessions was one on the proper use of a clay bar and other car detailing products, and the Fitch Phoenix, one of several unique vehicles on display in the exhibit hall, was the demonstration vehicle.  The car now sparkles!

But the day was topped off with the Ice Cream Social, which followed the CORSA Annual Meeting, where the awards for the Road Rally and the Model Car Concours were presented.  Then Cobblestone Crossing took to the stage, for a great show of singalong folk music.

The final day begins soon, culminating with the banquet and our special guest from Hemmings Motor News, Richard Lentinello.  The convention has been great fun but it will all be over in less than 24 hours.
