Red Barns!

Saturday, Aug 2, we were back at the Gilmore Museum for the annual Red Barn Spectacular.  This is one of the largest car shows in West Michigan with car counts typically around 900.  This year's total exceeded 1100 entries!  Eight CSRA members made the cruise to Hickory Corners for the day long event with Fred & Janet Clark entering their 47 Chevy in the judged street rod class.  The other seven members entered the People's Choice area along with a friend, Paul Dykhouse, and his '99 Corvette.   Fred & Janet scored a 2nd place plaque in their class and four of the club members received Top 50 recognition.  Here's Fred receiving his award.


And here are the four People's Choice Top 50 winners.


Left to right, Rick Nielsen, Jon Hansen, Paul Dishaw and Pete Derridinger.  Picture space is limited on these blog pages so the entire photo albums from Steve and Jon are shared on the club Facebook page; ClassiX SRA.   One last photo worth posting is one showing our new banners that Pete made for attachment to an EZ-Up awning.  Another club liked them so much, they ordered a pair with their logo.


We all had a great time at this years Red Barn Spectacular!  Those that made the cruise down were Paul & Sharon Dishaw, Ron & Teresa Shooks, Fred & Janet Clark, Pete Derridinger, Steve Melville, Rick Nielsen, Jim Banfill and Jon Hansen.  As mentioned, a non-member, Paul Dykhouse, traveled with us too.
