Default Silver Willow Show - Should I Take The Vette Or Tractor

Steve and Daryl are meeting at the sunrise grill in Alliston for Breaky at 7:30 am before going to the Silver Willow Show. Anyone in the area is welcome to join us.

It should be a great show and CCO has an excellent Corvette Corral planned.

It's funny how life changes. This time last year I would not be considering the question "Take the vette or the 1949 John Deere B" ... and yes... I now have almost as many John Deere products as Chevrolet products.

Have a great time, weather will be perfect for it. Went to this a few years ago, loved seeing those wooden boats that are polished up like jewels, the Sea Fleas and other vintage racers.
I have some work to get done at home this morning, my son and I may head up to the Silver Willow show - his idea.

Thank you !

It was a awesome day up there.
A floating Corvette show - there was some fibreglass, lots of SB's and BB's - 265's, 283's right on up to 496's and some Viper's (V10's) also thrown in.
Even a turbine powered boat !

It was wonderful : real metal everywhere ; Noooo plastic LS whatevers to be seen LOL
Boats were finished nicer than furniture - price of a house in most of them.
Man those wooden boats are awesome
A lot of history there - lots of 90 year old boats !
The race boats were pretty neat and put on quite a show racing - some of those things "fly" !

We were in "radio contact" with someone at Silver Willows : didn't make us wish we were there. No further reports ??

By the time I finished working on the deck I was just too hot and tired to head to the event, just floated in the pool for an hour or so to cool down.

Pacekr, how was the show? any pics?

Greg , I think we'd better head up there and see if we can figure out what happened : maybe we'll find some parts we can use ?
I'm starting to think this was either an alien kidnaping or a tree hugger conspiracy - no one escaped to tell what happened !??
