2024 Fircrest Rod Run & Picnic

Posted on by

On July 7th 2024 the club entered 1 vehicle while 4 members and 1 spouse attended the 36th annual Fircrest picnic / car show. We had lots of food and beverages and there were many cars to see. Some were all original and some were all custom. All were driven to the event. we had a very good time fellowshipping and enjoying the day and good food. We were set up a little close to the loudspeakers and it was hard to hear each other when the music was playing.

Members in attendance: L to R, VP Don Fisk, Pr. Michael Campsmith, and Michael Wooten. Photo by member, Tim Crawford
