Louisiana Cubfest is underway!!

Postby Dale Finch » Wed Mar 13, 2024 11:18 pm

Dan Overcash & I arrived with one cub each around 5pm today, and things were already humming!! Several RV's/campers, etc were settling in, cubs already lined up (Buddy has a "couple"!!), and there was much activity beyond the workshop.

We went to investigate, and underway was prep work for the biggest BBQ I have ever witnessed! Just take a look! Can't wait for tomorrow...Mmmmm!

After Buddy gave his final "STAMP" of approval, we went inside for some delicious chicken tetrazzini, thanks to Hope!
What a great start, and tomorrow is the official first day!

2 very busy days here in Louisiana!! Lots of projects underway, and much progress being made. Since I have been working on my split for a rear crankshaft seal, I haven't wandered around as much as I would like, so photos are limited. :D
But here are some to start off...

Thank you all for your fantastic assistance, especially Talsie!! :worthy:

A huge shout out to the "PIT CREW"! We certainly had some fabulous food the entire time. :hattip:

I was by several years ago for a quick visit and had a wonderful time. Seeing these pictures of everything going on I've got to make this event next year.
