Hi everyone - just wanted to give you an update since our last planning trip to Springfield.
Tornado damage - all historic sites are fine, as is our hotel. Actually, most of Springfield is unscathed. Unfortunately, our restaurant for horseshoe/ponyshoe night was destroyed. An alternate is in the works.
The barbeque has been booked for Thursday night. It is at the Springfield Motor Boat Club, which is a private club on Lake Springfield. If all goes right, we will have a pontoon boat available for some sightseeing on the lake.
The car show is still not final, but will be on Saturday, probably late morning/early afternoon.
We did the tour of the Dana-Thomas house and it is spectacular. Also did the new Lincoln Presidential Museum and it too is spectacular. Both must sees in our book.
Auction items are coming in - a great selection already! Check the website for a listing of donors. This will be updated as we receive additional donations.
We have the prototype of the trophies and are really excited about them. We like them so much that we are having one made for ourselves as a keepsake of planning this event.
We plan to go down again this month to finalize the car show and complete the Route 66 tour and the Land of Lincoln Rally/Tour.
We promise another update soon…
