SPECIAL ATTRACTION - On Saturday, September 29th, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. we will “circle our wagens” and meet downtown at the Sycamore Market Place to recap Friday night’s event and have lunch. Then, “head’em up and move’em out” for a 30 - mile cruise, to the “James Dean Festival;” one of the most incredible car shows in the country. We will visit the James Dean Museum in Fairmount, IN; and cruise to the park for their car show. After some free time to tour the cars/festival we will end our day at the “Duck Tail Run” in Gas City, IN for the evenings special event ~ Flame Throwing Contest!!! If you have never been to this event, you will quickly see why it is known as one of the “Baddest” car shows on Earth!

We are very fortunate to have our events coincide and expect this to be the best OKTOBERFEST yet. This will be a full day/evening/weekend for all of us, so if you plan on spending a night(s) for either Oktoberfest or the James Dean festival, you will need to make your reservations early, because hotels will be sold out in all nearby cities. For hotel and festival information visit:www.jamesdean.com/community/festival/index.htm. -or- http://www.kokomo-in.org/lodging.htm. This will be one of the most incredible experiences we have ever had an opportunity to participate in. So, prepare to enjoy German culture on Friday night and cruise on Saturday to the hometown of the actor who defined the word “Rebel.” Finally, brace yourself to witness a “Flame Throwing Contest” that would make a pyromaniac drool!
