The bridge referenced in the title is not the I-35W bridge that collaped last August.  It is the 85th Ave NE/Cty Rd J bridge over I-35W that had been under construction for way too long.

If you live in or near the Twin Cities metro area drop by if you can.  The show benefits a worthy cause and gives you a chance to meet one of our sponsors up close and personal along with a bunch of other 'car nuts'.
 
Hope to see you there...!!!

Any other C3VRers besides Larry (since he's the host) going to be there tomorrow?  Weather permitting I hope to be there sometime between 10 o'clock and noon.  It would be nice to meet some more of the C3VR folks who live in the TC metro area. Norsky2008-06-06 10:27:40

Sorry I didn't make it to the show today.  Two trees came down on our property ovenight during the storms we had so that clean-up took priority today.  Hope there was a good turnout!

Thanks to those who came to our show!  I met one C3VR member I hadn't met before, and don't know how many others were in attendance.  Mother nature cooperated, and we had to park cars in the lot of the building next door.  We collected a PILE of school supplies for our local women's shelter.  We gave away a bunch of door prizes, the DJ played both Corvette and Rock and Roll trivia, and we gave trophies to participants' choices and our choices.  The Girl Scouts sold food, and ran out near the end, so I guess it was a complete success.

We have another show in the fall just for fun, and then collect toys for Christmas.  I hope you can join us.

Thanks Again
Larry
