A Parade and the car show.



Morning comes quick again. We drive to the intersection of Prospect and Railroad in Downtown Danville and set up the car. The shop owners are all happy to help with letting us run power to the car, we check the outlet first of course! Folks are from all over, earlier there was a heart walk so all those folks have filtered into downtown to enjoy the cars. All makes and models, there's an REO Speedwagon, a pic up truck, weren't they a band in the 70's? Jaguars, Astin Martins, Lamborginis and Range Rovers. And lot's between. Oli led the parade with silent auction winner, 'Mackenzie', as co-pilot in the time machine, and they blasted Huey Lewis' Power of Love all the way down the parade route. Mackenzie enjoyed the 'aooga' horn button! We had a great time sharing the tent with the Parkinson's Institute. Debi helped us set up the booth and then had to catch a plane. But before she left we took some pics with her in the car. She looks good in a time machine! Fun! The day was filled with kids wanting to climb in the car, some with blue tongues.We set the time circuits to their birthdays and just had a blast. Gale, my dinner partner from last night, cutie patutie, stopped by with her grand kids. It's a beautiful day for a car show, cool with cloud cover in the morning but by the afternoon we are enjoying the sunshine! The show finishes up with the awards and we all start to pack up. Good bye Danville! We have had a wonderful time in your quaint, charming town.
Now to decide where to next? Seattle? Yellowstone? Well first the Disney Family Museum tomorrow, then we'll decide.
