We take a drive up to Andrews, NC to partake in their annual Christmas On Main cruise In and block party. Man, it was packed with vendors this year. They took up the whole main drag. The cruise was a block long and, though not big, was full of some great cars and people.

Skunked! nearly 2 weeks later and Holley stink stinks a bit.

So a few of my students and I helped out the Trip-County Early College Theater students by making a few props for their up coming show. In turn, they surprised me with a 2 minute voice over commercial. Jefferson is an aspiring (and dang good) voice over actor. The commercial came out so good I decided to put video to it in time to help promote out fundraiser car show. It will be this Sunday, October 29th, from 1-5 at the Cherokee Co. School of Innovation in Murphy, NC. We are raising money to kick off a kit car building program for the students. The show is looking to be big. The students are excited. They made 18 trophies and with any luck we will have custom T-shirts ready for show day. If you happen to be within a couple hours of our school stop in and support these kids and our new program. Be there or be square, Cruise, don't schmooze. We got some awesome and talented kids in out schools over here in the western corner of North Carolina.

I has been a half decade or so since I've been to a show in Maggie Valley, NC so we cruised Lil' Red on up to check out the 2023 C10 Nationals. This event grew a ton since my last time there. The swap meet was bigger too. There were so many LS Swapped Square body trucks you'd think they came stock that way. While square bodies dominated the show a close race for second were the 67--72 C10s and the GMT400 (OBS) style they made from 88-98 or so. The first gen C10s had a good presence (60-66) and only a few examples of early trucks prowled the fairgrounds. Overall we had a good time, saw some cool trucks and even picked up some stuff in the swap meet.
