That's about it for my pics. I have a couple of the group gathered for the auction, but a little hesitant to post pics of people.
If anyone would like me to remove a pic, please let me know.

I’d post his pic but I need to ask him first.

You can post my pic.

Thanks so much John and Connie for doing this show! We had a blast! We will definitely be coming next year! We got back to my grandparent’s house safely at like 5:00 our time. Then unloaded the GT and it started raining, so we made it just in time. We have a lot we want to do to the 69 before next year! Headlights are a big deal and tires and some other things we need to do. Thanks for all the info and help everyone and thanks for helping me put headlights on my car!

I will post my pictures this afternoon after school.

Here’s YoungGTLover with his grandfather and his car. He & I are the new guys here.

I’m really glad I went and was able to meet so many Opelers. John & Connie did a really wonderful job organizing this event - Thanks.

If you have the morning group photo, I think it would be okay to post it. It was kind of a given that it would be.

opelbits · 2022-09-26T10:26:56-0400

I don't have that photo. I was at the back, so if I had one, it would just be everyone's backsides. Probably not the best way to show club representation!

Although, I like this one better as Pete has grown a third arm.

Thank you so much John and Conny! The whole weekend was awesome, you are always organizing a great event and it is easily visible that you put a whole lot of time into it. The Opel world is a great place because of awesome people like you!
The hotel is great, and the location serves us well.
Thank you to all the old & new friends I met during the weekend, you are all part of my extended family here in the USA!
