With spring weather now (including severe thunderstorm potential the next 24 hours or so here in Chicagoland), hopefully we’re saying good bye to winter 2014-2015 for good…

…& with that, to what spring-summer-fall events are you looking forward to saying hello in 2015?

None are on my list, at the moment, at least.  I have a few I’d like to attend, but with no income, probably not going to happen.

 

BTW, do you remember any of these 4 ads that pose a challenge?

It’s “Throwback Thursday”, right?  Well, “back in the day”, I hosted gatherings, inviting people from various heart- & car-related boards & groups!

 

~65 people (from Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin & the Cleveland OH area) attended the 1st “MidSummer Chitown Gathering”, 07/26/2008 (Saturday).  Pics from an attendee…

…contrast that to the 3rd (& final) “MidSummer Chitown Gathering”, 07/24/2010 (Saturday).  Only a fraction of the people (farthest away was from Auburn IL)…

Then, in 2012, I hosted a cruise night:

I have both domestic ads in my collection.

Wondered if you did, balthazar ... & not at all surprised that you do!
