2008 Mini GoF

August 22nd - 24th



Nisqually Lodge
Ashford, WA

The 2008 Mini GoF was a great success. One of the best things about it was the weather.  It couldn't have been better.

Jim and Jan Rothwell, Paul and Joan Good, Larry and Gayla Kanaster drove their MGTF's, and Bill and Esther Mars, Ed and Jean Monell, Doug and Carey Murray drove their MGTD's.  Bob and Stephanie Kampas, Ed and Mavis Scholtz drove their MGB's, and Phil Gainey drove his MGA.  Bill and Ester Mars won Best T Series and Best of Show.  Bob and Stephanie won Best Modern MG.

A group of us drove up to Paradise Park with a stop at Mary McCarthy's cabin Saturday after the car show.  There were 31 of us at the Mt. Rainier Railroad Restaurant for dinner Saturday night.

Fun was had by all.
