Any Ford Barn members planning on attending the Moonshine Festival this year ?? I’ll be there with two of my 40s spaces 16&17. Hope to see some of y’all there!

That's a bit of a drive from California; don't think I'll make it.

Take plenty of pictures though and post the best ones. Love to see what people do to make their pre-war Fords look like moonshine runners! Googled it a few times but there's plenty of room for more.

Bad taste. He passed in 2019. RIP.

No disrespect to JJ from me.
I was not aware that he has passed on.

I thought about entering my Model A Roaster this year. But don't think I will since we will be in the RV about an hour and a half away from home that weekend. I'll be there as a spectator Saturday though.

Check with the Econo lodge. For over twenty years we’ve stayed at the quality inn . Always signed up on a list upon checkout for the next year. Found out two weeks ago that now we have no reservations there because they went under new management and they shit canned the sign up list and told me sorry we have nothing available. We were able to get rooms at the Econo Lodge.

If Dawsonville is out of rooms try Dahlonega. It's one town north and an easy 15-20 minute drive down highway 9 to get to the Moonshine fest. Highway 9 was a major route back in the day for running shine according to the old stories.

Hi Ken, Have fun. I haven't been to the Moonshine Festival with the Cigar City Flatheads in several years, stuff keeps getting in the way. This year I'm taking my '40 LZCC to the ft Lauderdale, FL Concours on the 28th of October, not enough time to do both. Hope to see you in Dawsonville next year.

Did anyone else see the ‘39 Phaeton today? First time I’ve seen one in person. It was really cool.

There was also a center door Model T. Never seen one of those in person either.
