Sounds good - we should get there right about 11. Looks to be a rainy weekend.

[ga.spyder]

Rain would suck! If it is ,they may resched for Sunday.I think the rain was for the late pm?? I have a 1 1/2 hour drive ,and my top is bad!!
Craig

[kristoj]

I'm just jealous that you live someplace where it's actually warm enough to HAVE a car show in the middle of October! Sounds like a great time.

[ga.spyder]

Hey John,
It is funny that the month of Oct/ Nov. are the busiest car show months.I have an event every weekend this month ,and 2 in Nov.It is a busy time up here in the mountains.All kinds of Fall festivals,leaves changing,apple harvests,etc..My favorite month of the year!

Atlanta Italian Car Day has been rescheduled for October 17th due to rain. I'll see if I can make it or at least make the drive on Sunday!

[digitech]

Thanks for the post, Denise. I just knew it was going to rain, especialy since I moved some weekend work around to accommodate!!! That's the way it goes.

[ga.spyder]

Denise is correct(for a change),same times and event schedule,just pushed back to Oct.17-18.I have the same pavillion reserved at Voge lS.P. for Sun.Should be the peak of leaf season,so the drive will be awesome!

Dang Craig, who'd you kiss to achieve that? I'm hoping it'll be a pretty weekend. I'll try to make it for the drive but I can't be there for the show.

[ga.spyder]
