I wanted to share a few pictures of my son Matthew & my visit to the the Yuma Tailgater a couple of weekends ago. This is only my 4th show since becoming interested in the hobby in 2004 but thought that I should re-emphasise what others have been saying for years; Get out to a show if at all possible. The folks, glass, history and stories available are unbeatable. I even allowed Matthew to play hookey from school for a day (providing he do extra reading,(proof is in the pic)) to make it a long weekend. Hopefully, I haven't posted to many pics & please forgive the lousy spelling - I just wanted to try to portray the great time had by all. I especially want to thank show host, Roger Nagel, for all the effort put into making this a truly enjoyable experience. I also want to say that Yuma has a lot to offer after the show is over. We went a short distance to shop in Mexico, rode ATV's on the sand dunes, enjoyed lunch and the river at Martinez Lake & had a great time swimming in the hotel pool & basking in the 70 & 80 degree weather. It was 12 below zero when we left Colorado. Enjoy the pics & provide some of your own next year. Dan Gauron
