Symco Thresheree is this weekend. I am heading over in a few hours, will be there Sat and Sunday as well. If anyone wants a sneak peak of the Symco grounds, this is the weekend to do it! Their show is WAY cooler than ours!!!

We need cars for the parade on Sunday morning. If anyone can make it, PLEASE CALL ME AT (920)540-4576. I will buy a round for the drivers in the Unionville Saloon afterwards and give each car that comes some FREE chances at the flathead engine we are giving away in a few weeks. Parade starts at 11:30, Please try to be to Symco by 10:30! Please help us show the farmers that the hot rod guys are a serious group!!!

 

Just saw the pics from the Symco grounds, hope I don't have to trade the wheels in for something like this.

 

Yes, NOT good, and we got MORE rain last night and MORE to come tonight. The most we have gotten in July since 1912. The old guys who live in Symco say that they have never seen it this high after June ever! The river is over the bank into the campground. It is quite possible it isn't going to dry out by show time. Don't worry, we have PLENTY of camping space, but the sites down by the river may not be useable. Only about half of that area will be able to be used.

Notice the pop up camper up on blocks in the first pic? Two days ago the water was PAST the tire on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We have on of our biggest fans working on it as we speak...

 

Woo Hoo!! Look at the Oliver Built logo on the design!! We have a little something special coming to you Cliffy!!

The pic of the camping area doesn't look much different than Sunday morning when we we wake up at the show last year. So what's the issue??

 

Um, NO, it is WAY worse than the Sunday after the show. The pics don't do it justice. The river has overflowed the bank, the water on the left side of that pic is the river flowing through the campground. If you notice the camper in the pic, it is up on blocks because the water was OVER the top of the tires on it. It was at least 2' higher than it was the sunday after the show.

It will certainly dry up by the show, but I am sure there will be a few damp spots that we will have to watch out for!

 

Maybe we should have mud bogs, or mud Wrestling derby girls!

 

We are moving the mini bike races down to the lower campground area.


I was just doing a Google search of Symco and found this photo album. Some REALLY SWEET pics from last year's show. Check it out!

Hey Bro,

Will see you early Sat. morning

 

those are some gorgeous shots.

 

I know-I know, I was just being a smart ass. It will still be an awesome weekend!!

 

Just want to let everyone know that if you have not sent in your registration DO SO NOW! I need enough time to be able to mail it back to you. It is officially closed, but I will accept them this week. Go to the website and pay with PayPal or print out the form and mail it it. You can also buy your shirt in advance and pick it up at the show....or catch me the end of the week and I will have them in hand so you can wear it for a few weeks before the show!

 

just got back from Salina Kansas...............was surprised to hear so many people that were at THAT show are heading to the Symco Shakedown!

Hope you have enough room for all the cars Cliffy!!!

 

You might want to put some pontoons on your camper though

 

Bring your houseboat ............

 

We don't need no stinkin boats.......rain or shine fun is on the horizon in Symco!!

 

I hope the ONE guy that got all sauced up and made trouble comes back this year. he was a nice enough kid when he was sober....


I`d like to give him another chance.

 

How many days are left? I can't wait!

 

Only 10 days, 13 hours and 40 some minutes!!!

 

less than 8 days....21 hours till I fill up on Boondocks Pizza

 

That means ONE piece for those of you who haven't had one.

 

Sounds like the grounds are drying up well. Pray for NO rain between then and now!!!

 

im getting itchy !!!!

( Can i drop my money and registration off at your shop tomm. )

 

They make ointments for that.

 

Just show up when all the other guys from the club do, I will take care of your group all at one time.
Thanks,
Mike
