It took a bit for things to get swinging.  We cruised by the Car Show area just after 5 PM and there was nothing on the portion of Route 66 to be closed and no one milling around the booths setup in back of Victory Ford.  It would be closer to six before a decent number of cars would be lined up along the northbound lanes and about that time the Cavern Beat Beatles tribute band fired up.

We glanced over the offerings inside Victory Lane Ford where the Authors, Associations, Artisans et cetera were setup and then spent the rest of the evening hanging out at the Illinois Association booth in back by the Beatles band; we were able to pitch in and listen to the lads at the same time.

Tomorrow it’s back to the booth early and then the banquet at night.  A few pics from the day are available on the Flickr foto feed.
