Wow, I can't believe you found a car show with quilts! I'm getting some great info, it's all going into the diary.

Thanks for the offer Marc, it would be great to catch up with some Y people on the trip.

Sorry I'm a bit lost with some of the abbreviations. I guessed PNW is pacific north west but a lot of the others have got me confused.

Thanks to everyone for the input so far.

Sounds like you could cover all your bases...Vickies, other Y's and a great museum on Saturday, then 3 hours north (depending on time at the border) for quilts and more cars on Sunday.

You mentioned the Blackhawk Museum, If you decide to go there, try to make it on the first Sunday of the month, They have an event called Cars and Coffee which is just a parking lot show, but last month, I was told, 320 cars showed up.

You might also check out the Good Guys calendar, various shows all over the country. I don't know about the rest of their shows, but the ones in Pleasanton, CA are really large.

Here you go. The annual Ladner Quilt Walk and Car Show will be held in Ladner B.C.August 17, 2014. Last year the CVA PNW region held their annual meeting in conjunction with this show. Ladner is about 20minutes from the US border at Blaine Wa. (I-5).

PM me when you know when you'll be here and we'll meet up. We could go for a cruise in my Merc. BTW the CVA PNW Region holds a regional meet in mid-August every year. The last few years they've been in British Columbia, Montana and Oregon and I've just learned that this year it will be held August 13-16 in Tacoma, WA with the car show on the LeMay museum grounds on Sat. the 16th.

Near me is the Tucker cruise-In and Caffeine and Octane. Tucker is mostly domestic cars an hotrods. Caffeine and octane can have everything from 30's hotrods to Lamborghinis and Ferraris. It does have quite a bit of exotic stuff. Both are monthly events.
There is usually a weekly cruise-in at Summit Racing

There are others but I don't go to many. The same people and cars show up at about every show so there's not usually much new to see.

I know what you mean about limitations on car events. If these events combined a quilting convention with them I could attend everything. Have you got dates yet on when your going and coming back?

The Black Hawk Motor Museum, east side of San Francisco is definitely worth a look when your there.

The Meltdown Drags and Y Shootout in Byron, Illinois west of Chicago about 80 miles, July 18, 19 and 20th with Saturday as being the best single day. Lots of gassers of all brands (many brand X's) for the Y's to beat up on. Here is a link to their site. http://meltdowndrags.com/ The Ford Expo, on August 29th to the 31st which includes the Y-shootout.

The Crown Victoria Annual National Convention is Madison Wisconsin July 27-Aug 1. Search for Crown Victoria Association. 1954-1956 Fords, all types. Recently included trucks. A pretty doable drive from Chicago if your timing works out. I'm planning on planning on being there - if that makes sense.
