Ford Barn meetup at the 2026 Convention
 

I thought I had created a separate thread for this but it was in the regular convention thread.

So I have a room reserved at 1800 at Big John's Pizza (June 1st) place in Pendleton, OR for a Ford Barn get together. Here are some details/questions:

1) Can I get a rough estimate who is coming/planning to come? This way i can let the restaurant know ahead of time.

2) There is going to be some free bees given away from Quick Change and I am trying to lay my hands on some other goodies to raffle off for free.

So drop in, have some pizza and put a name to a face from other Ford Barners.

The "New Engine" crew (John, Steve, and myself) will be there. I'm looking forward to picking up a carbon-fiber fan if available and having a few beers.

I'll try to make it also. I'm going to have my whole family in tow - two kids age 8 and 4 and my wife so I'll be beholden to their schedule as well but it would be fun to make it there. We'll be there all week.

I just picked up an aluminum windshield frame probably for a 28/29 closed car/pick up. It has the swing arm attachment and is in really good shape. That will be given away at the pizza party.

Mike,

I hope the room reserved at Big John's is big enough and they have plenty of pizza and beer.

I am giving a seminar on the New Engine from 4 pm to 5 pm, and the pizza meetup will be at 6 pm.

There are 154 people signed up for the seminar and many will likely be at the pizza party.

Terry, not sure it is able to handle 160 people. That would make for a great party though. I will call them to give them a heads up on the numbers anyways.

So Far, I have the aluminum windshield frame for a 28/29, one headlight bucket and some headlight trim rings. This stuff has a one way ticket with me. I will see what other goodies I can score next week.

In addition to the aluminum 28/29 windshield frame I am going to bring down two headlight buckets with rings. They are free to who ever wants them.
