Homecoming 2011

[dmswann]

The Weaver's pulled if off again. Every year I attend, I think is the best one yet and this year was no exception. Friday's Open House was hindered by a pretty strong afternoon thunderstorm, but attendees made quick moves which allowed all cars (39) to be parked in the shop. One attendee said it reminded him of the hanger deck on an aircraft carrier on which he served. Tony Lewis' recently completed Daytona Coupe was a tremendous crowd pleaser.....as it should be (what a fine Cobra replica it is). Lunch, snacks, drinks and traditional cake were great as usual.

Friday night's dinner was a huge success with a little belly dancing by Jan Tucker and Rick and Tad providing the musical entertainment. Maurice handed out the best car plaques to whom he called the three biggest AH's in the group. This was followed by some bench racing, story swapping and a few jokes in the Hampton Inn parking lot.

Saturday's drive to Desoto Falls and Little River Canyon was GREAT (30 cars) followed by lunch at a new place in Center, AL picked out by Alan. The weekend concluded with dinner at El Tapitillo with a few margaritas and other adult beverages and a roaring Happy Birthday to Megan Weaver who celebrated her 26th. As usual, farewells and "see you laters" were again exchanged in the Hampton Inn parking lot.

We all owe the entire extended Weaver family a BIG "THANK YOU" for another terrific Homecoming Bash!!!!!

I'll second that "BIG THANK YOU" to the Weavers for a great time. As Dennis pointed out all the fun times we had, those who didn't come along missed a good one.

Dennis forgot to mention that nice lady... I think she might have been from the Gadsden Historical Society... Kim Weaver, who toured several groups through Mike's spectacular old steel mill pumphouse renovation project on the river. Thanks Kim!

If you haven't ever been, or it's been a while since you've come, to a Homecoming, make a point to set aside time to go next year... definitely worth it!

BRAVO!

Thanks to all that came, we had a great time as usual and look forward to seeing everyone next year!

Did anyone bother to tell Butch those sun glasses were too big for his face?

Did anyone bother to tell Butch those sun glasses were too big for his face?

So that's it... and all this time I was thinking it was because his eyes were too close together:confused:!

I do hope to attend one of these homecomings and of course bring my Cobra though the drive of about 5000 miles return is a bit daunting.

A bit off topic but I took my Jag project for it's first drive yesterday and wanted to share a pic of it.

We're looking for some good high resolution group (car) photos from Homecoming, Kit Car Builder wants to do a story using our pics but we don't have a good group photo. If you have any email them to me at unique@uniquemotorcars.com

Thanks, Alan
