We won the 'Best Vintage Vehicle' award in the Watkinsville Christmas parade. The organizers called me today to tell me of our win. They are very happy that we brought so many cars and that we had a good variety of types.
The Watkinsville mayor will give us our plaque this Wednesday at the city council meeting. Anyone who would like to be there, the meeting is at 6:45 pm at the Watkinsville community center. The awards are given out first so we don't have to sit thru the whole meeting. _________________ 73 Typ481

Cool!!
Ask the Mayor if they could give us permission for some burnouts next year... That pace is absolutely unacceptable :-)

Rick met me at the city council meeting and together we accepted our 'major award' This year they spelled 'Volkswagen' correctly.
When the mayor gave us the plaque he leaned in and told us he used to have a triple white vert. There is a VW story everywhere.
There is a picture of my family and the red 67 in the Oconee Enterprise and the club is listed as the winners of the Vintage Vehicle award.
Another great parade and outing for the club. Thanks to all and MERRY CHRISTMAS. _________________ 73 Typ481
