Clyde's Favorite Car Show

There is one car show that Clyde goes to each year, one that he'll actually enter a rig in and sit by all day in the hot sun.  Mainly it's his favorite show because a lot of our friends go to it too.  It's not so much about the cars as it is hanging out with good friends for the day.  Last year I didn't go with him and I heard about it ALL year long.  I can get away with not going to it about every other year, this year I HAD to go...I'm not saying our marital happiness was on the line but I didn't want to push it.

Clyde had to polish & shine up his truck the night before.

Koira comes over all sneaky like to steal one of his rags

and wants to play instead of help clean.

The next morning Raleigh was intent on going with us, he would NOT get away from the truck, we couldn't even bribe him with treats. 

So, Raleigh got to go to his first car show.

Pop up tent to match the truck (that's Clyde's doing...all color coordinated)

Raleigh was on his best behavior.  He got more attention than the truck, everybody LOVED Raleigh.

"Can you believe I'm here?  And LOOK how good I'm being"

Clyde won an award for the "Hottest Chevy"!  2nd year in a row!

And then he won an award for "Best Undercarriage".  Notice, he doesn't even bother getting out of his chair to get his award...oh yea, just put that with my other ones...

Best Undercarriage...Clyde said, "Really? I didn't even do anything to it"

(Notice how well mannered Raleigh is still)

Our friend's kids appreciated the undercarriage and the shade it provided. "Don't hit your head on anything underneath there....I don't want you to dent something"  Clyde is sensitive like that.

This is our friend's '69 Charger.  He and his father restored it together before his dad died, so it's definitely a special car. 

Two awards...woohoo! Looking for 3 next year. 

 I think Clyde is looking into acquiring a trophy case.
