The weather was great, about 72F with cloud cover most of the day, but the sun broke through just after lunch. Perfect temp, perfect breeze, and as perfect a day for an outdoor event as you could hope for!


Yours truly, Larry Decker, and Chuck Allard conducting the Gimmick Concours Awards Ceremony
