Wow Tokeland is a real place? I thought you were just poking fun at western Washington in general. (Insert emotion of a guy lighting up here.)

That trailer look really nice...it would match incredibly well with my red and white falcon.

Not with your 144 c.i. (insert emotion of eight guys pushing a falcon and trailer up a slight incline.)

See you all tomorrow. Let's hope for no rain!

A few of us Seattle guys are meeting @ Michaels's Market to caravan down. Corner of Denny Way and Fairview Avenue (2010 Fairview Ave
Seattle, WA 98121) with a pull out time of 7:30 am

Kathy and I have the O'Reilly goody bags. See you in the morning.

The bird is washed, all packed up, and ready to roll. I'll be at Michael's Market and join the caravan down in the morning.

Rain, rain, go away! Come again on Monday...

At least it looks like the showers may not start until later and later in the afternoon as I check my weather app. We should be pretty flexible about letting participants get in early and park but we can wait to open the registration table later. That way they can have some extra time to get their car staged and look around.

I didn't notice but the Griot's calendar lists an 8:00 start so we will likely get cars arriving early. Maybe the first one there can try and track down someone in the store to open the gate??

If anyone wants to buy a 64 falcon station wagon..
I know where one is.. i passed on it.

We'll (the family) be there between 10 and 11..

We have a 2 hour drive to get there.. at least its shorter than the 10 hour drive to get to the beach.

Where's the after party being held at? Lol..

Was gonna drive both cars out tomorrow, but Ranchero has some clunk I'm not liking and the wagon would not start. The Ranchero is staying home. Wagon is stuffed to the gills, and after it got a new battery tonight it should make it.

I will bypass the Fairview meet as I need to get Lila further south at the Boeing Access Road exit.

Great show! Thanks to everyone who helped out. I counted 42 Falcons, Comets, or Fairlanes at one point. I don't recall the dollar figure but I do know we made more money this year on the raffle and I'm pretty sure our expenditures are way less than 2014.

And no rain! I think I felt a very light mist once but nothing noticeable. I much prefer a cool, cloudy day to last Sunday's over 90 degrees heatwave!

Here's a few shots I took at the show:

The rain held off until we were all packed up. The Food/Coffee truck was just awesome. Jennifer was very kind and the offerings were great!

Many thanks to everyone that worked hard on making this a success and a huge thank you for those that came out (with or without Falcon) to join in the conversation and tire kicking. I was very surprised and pleased how far some had traveled to be here today. What a great group.

A few more photos

**pbrown** · July 26th, 2015, 05:56 PM

And a few more....

**pbrown** · July 26th, 2015, 05:58 PM

The last of them for now...

**Luva65wagon** · July 26th, 2015, 09:25 PM

Just getting home - thanks for the picture posts. I have a lot of pics and will create a gallery as time permits.

Considering the weather threat, which I'm sure kept a few away just for that alone, it was a good day. Sad to not see some of you not making it and great to see some of you who we haven't seen in a while. Thanks to everyone who participated leading up to and including today.

I only wish the day could have lasted longer.
I caught up with some, talked to new falconers, missed others.
I spent too much time and money inside the store..

Really wish i could have brought a car..

Am i correct in assuming next year is back in woodland?

Wish the day was longer..

Thanks for the putting on the show.
