At 6:30 PM we will leave to go to Eric Gibeaut's house to tour his collection of Sunbeams, Minis and other British memorabilia. This is only about 2 miles from the BBQ restaurant.
After dinner we will convoy back to the Hampton Inn and enjoy some free time in the Vista where the party is always going on.
On September 13th, 2009
We have the hospitality room reserved for our group if we want to use it for something on Sunday morning - this is yet to be determined. We could use it as our breakfast area.
Remember on the 12th at the car show there will be a class for Alpines and a class for Tigers. Heck we may have one for Harrington's and one for Red Tigers! OK Tom, we may even have a class for Green Alpines! This show will have bag pipe playing, the local Oldies Radio station will be playing ole British music through-out the day. a silent auction to raise money for charities. Food vendors, wood steering wheel vendor, wooden dash vendor, and several other cool car vendors. If you register early you will receive a free t-shirt. All cars in the show will receive a free goody cooler full of stuff. With all of this said, the most important thing is we are going to raise money for two really important charities, a camp for kids with cancer called Kamp Kemo and the Juvenile Diabetes Association all while enjoy the fellowship of other Sunbeam enthusiasts!
We hope to see you at this weekend of fun!
Cheers,
Eric and Todd
