If I can find Gary Thornberry again I will pull his big fancy overpowered Prevo back to Blytheville again.

I have pictures of Huggy pulling him from BKs to the last rally at Blytheville LOL

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.  Did not get all the way to Evansville but hope I do not spend time in a truck garage waiting on them to find parts.

Have Gene Russells phone number in my phone and posted on the windshield of Huggy.

Got to the meeting place just after lunch. They were taking coaches a few at a time and parking them.
Got Gary and his BIG FANCY PREVO early and left.
Was getting close to dark and Wilma was getting anxious. She thought they were going to park us old coaches
out in the back.

When they came for us we parked across from the terminal and Gary was out in the boon docks.

He was out back with the big Eagle with the big fish. Some guy from Colorado.  LOL

Think I remember waking up and seeing that big fish at a Eagle rally at Myrtle Beach.
I said i did not want to park close to the Eagles Afraid Huggy might catch the rust.
He said that was the reason he parked beside me.  Had nothing to do with good old NC mountain spring water.

 Blytheville Antique Bus Homecoming Parking info:The event will officially start Friday morning Sept 27.
When you arrive in town (you can arrive as early as you like) please head toward our temporary coach staging area lots at: 2900 S. Division st. (U.S. 61) Blytheville, AR 72315 (GPS coordinates: lat:  35.895656 Long:  -89.918151) Exit# 63 off I-55, (there are two exits for Blytheville, the one you want is the south exit off I-55) then travel north on highway 61 (Division st.) about .4 miles to former auto dealer lots on East side of road. There are three former car dealer lots at this address, we can use all three to park coaches. The city was granted permission by land owners. For early arrivals, overnight dry camping will be allowed in these lots. These lots should be large enough to temporarily hold all the coaches, until the city can get the necessary streets closed downtown and get folks parked near the Greyhound depot.  We will be distributing maps/directions from the temp. staging lots to show parking areas downtown near the former Greyhound depot. (These lots are only about 2.9 miles from the former Greyhound depot)We plan to begin parking coaches downtown on Thursday (Sept 26). Please do not attempt to park downtown before my parking crew has assisted you from the temporary staging lots. We must be respectful of downtown local merchants, and not block their customer access/parking. The city has worked very hard to make this event great for all involved, so I ask for your patience and cooperation. The city is closing several streets downtown for the duration of the three day event to provide coach parking near the former Greyhound depot. All registered coaches will be parked downtown first, then any non-registered "drop-ins" will be parked. If anyone wants to park near their buddy in the show areas, just let the parking crew know that, and we will make every attempt to accommodate you. All members that wish to park together, must be present in the staging lot to get parked with friends. Once folks get parked downtown, it will be difficult to juggle coaches around. We most likely can not hold spots for future arrivals. If you have toads, trailers, dollies, extra cars, etc. if you choose, you can leave those items in these lots for the duration of the event (or keep hitched). The city will have passenger car parking areas near the depot for local show attendees. If you have not registered as yet, please do so soon. I need head-counts for caterer and T-shirt orders, etc. Thanks! registration form link:https://drive.google.com/open?id=10Tb1-pVa1esbZpKJpV_mw_C2BLIU7ewY&fbclid=IwAR3_modK4TZvIAyUiikPVrtvgtPkfX66dy5mdc1SAxASmWOnjxChIdO7Mvk

Tom,

This is probably the ultimate dumb question, but I am an expert dumb question asker.

The event is Friday through Sunday, correct?

When do we clear out of Downtown?  Sunday afternoon?  Sunday evening? or Monday Morning?  The schedule is foggy toward the end!

Thanks!

Steve

Hi Steve

I will leave Sunday mid-morning most likely. I think you can stay over Sunday night if you like. My contact is very flexible and easy to work with.
