Hi Everyone,


I put together a quick survey so we can "vote" for a location and date for the next FGF Cannonbird Run. I think it's easier than tracking a bunch of emails. There is only a few questions and a place to fill in the blank for extra locations. It says that you can go back later and revise your answers too. Please take five and go to this link.

Have fun and be safe this New Years......Carl

Hope I can make it this year.

I most likely will be in France this summer...but it was a nice event...hope we can keep it up,either as an annual or every second year event.

made this post sticky for the time being...

I was just on the Cannonbird website looking for an update!!! I love the TN locations, but before I do the survey, I need to work my thinking thing and see what else I can come up with. Still regretting not going to Estes, I'm going to everything I can to make the next one.

Hey guys,

We are having a conference call this week regarding this years Cannonbird Run. We would like some preliminary numbers to give to the lady that is working on hotel rates, etc.
If you could just give us an idea of yes, no or maybe, it would help significantly. The Run is going to be in the Fredricksburg, TX area (wine country) between San Antonio and Austin. Kelly Murphy has created this power point to give you some ideas of what can/will be going on, in addition to the car show. Enjoy and please reply ASAP.

Cool, count me in as a yes/maybe. Most likely yes.

Great link, good job Kell.

thanx man! That link is just to give an idea of what we are planning on doing and to gauge intrest. Once we have all the details, will put out an "official" link. Kel

sounds Like I`m a strong "Maybe"/very likely...coming back from France, July 25th...

It's gonna happen in the biggest speed trap area of Texas!?

Huh???

My grandparents live in Comfort and there's always speed traps set up around Fredericksburg, Kerrville, and Comfort. I'm always getting stopped there. If you're on 87 you're likely to get pulled over for going even 5 over.

No problemo......the "event" will only be in the Fredericksburg/Luckenbach area....just keep it at posted limit, good to go...btw, my wife and just spent the weekend in that area, went through Comfort and Kerrville...can't remember seeing any coppers....anyway, we'll be cruisin at a nice & easy pace....to take the beautiful Hill Country scenery in ;-)

Glad to hear she didn't get stopped. It is very beautiful scenery.

We went to Fredericksburg last year and stayed at a bed-and-breakfast. We had never been there and it was a nice get-away. The coolest thing thou, was to 'Hike the Rock' at the State Natural Area. That thing is just a huge chunk of granite. All I saw was countertop material everywhere! Like hiking a mountain parking lot made of upheaved granite. I dont know how else to explain it.

I've done it twice. It's a lot of fun and some good exercise. Rustlin' Robs is pretty cool in down town Frederickburg. You can sample all of their dips and hot sauces. Satans Blood is by far the hottest thing I've ever tried.

Hey guys, we are getting alot closer to up and running, here is a little taste of what the event has in store!

Danny

Registered!

We'll be heading down Monday, getting into Little Rock area around 5 p.m. if all goes to plan. Can anyone make a recommendation for car-safe lodging in the Little Rock/Texarkana/Carthage TX area? We'll have our daily driver along too, just need a safe place to lodge the car overnight.

Sorry, no recommendations as I dont know that area. But have a safe and enjoyable drive.

Anyone heard from Bjorn, is he back from vacation?

I didn't see this posted, so I thought I'd give the even post a bump...

Unfortunately, I can't make the trip this year, but wish everyone a Great time! It will be a Blast! - Brett!

A BIG shout out & thanx to Brett for his behind the scenes help with this years CB Run!! We'll have that Shiner together one day Kel

Yes... Yes we will. Thanks - B!

Kel!! You are making me thirsty!
Im back BTW Danny...got in monday nite...found a crashed computer at my office, finally got a new hard drive in yesterday, now back up and running!

Cannonbird Run II is underway and there is a good turnout. Some pics will be posted later or tomorrow.

On the way to the Batcave...

another picture...at the 'show'

Nice setting for the birds to relax a bit.

Maybe someone could help me try to ID the color of my Bird. It is very close to the color of the center car, 3rd from left in this photo. I know it is difficult to pin point from a 20 foot photo.

Third from the left is a Meridian Turquoise vert.

thanks, It is tough to tell when looking at the paint code sample.

What a great bunch of people and really cool birds. We had a fantastic time, really enjoyed ourselves. Did so much visiting at the car show I didn’t get to take pics of everything I wanted! Met a lot of really good people, it was a pleasure. Here are my pics.
