That is a great show. I think it was 1980 or 81 that was the first time I went there. It is what started me in the hobby.

Assuming the next one is scheduled for July 2017?

I believe Infirst went in 78 or 79 with my parents and continued to go and watch the meet grow into the late 80s; I had only been back a few years since; my parents continued to go every year until just a few years ago.

Last year I bought the 1965 Cushman I learned to ride at the Portland meet in 1980(@10 yrs old) from the man my dad sold it to years earlier.

It was a big deal to us kids to get our drivers licenses (@16)and join the adults on the poker run. I wonder if anyone ever beat Herb Singe(?) at the slow race, he was the guy to beat on his little Powell scooter; I came up runner up one year on a Highlander.

The first time you go you will will not know which way to walk first. If you have a golf cart I would take it, it will save your feet.
