Mesa Pavilions Gathering
Went to our local gathering last Saturday at the Mesa Pavilions that is no longer called KMart. Had a great time visiting and also seeing some new stuff there. Also got to meet up with our very own Route99. He was visiting from his home on the east side of the states. Really glad he contacted me and wanted to visit and see Grape. It was a pleasure and hope our paths cross again someday. Safe travels back home to you and your family.
Here's the video I made for your viewing pleasure if you want to see it.
Have a great day. I see I misspelled Pavilions in the video so pay no attention to that...

Another excellent GrapeApe production, as always! Thanks, Mark! 
The pleasure was all ours! My wife and I always appreciate the opportunity to meet our CF friends as well as other car lovers. It was also enjoyable to be able to bring our son and grandson to the show. First car gathering our grandson ever attended and he was really impressed (as we all were), with the quality and variety of vehicles there!
Hoping our paths cross again. We’d love the opportunity to present Route99 to you. Not to the great standards of “Grape” but we’re still pleased with our “work in progress”. (Please don’t tell my wife I said that. Every time I do something it’s because we only need “this last thing to make the car perfect.”).
Perhaps you, your wife and Mr Grape can make the 25th Museum Caravan later this year!
Cheers, Larry and Sharon (Route99).

How does the MESA gathering compare with more well known PAVILLIONS gathering closer to Scottsdale at the McDonalds???

Thanks for another 
video. Makes me anxious for warner weather here so the cars can come out of hibernation.

This Mesa pavilions isn't near as big as the Scottsdale one is. If you want a better variety then that's the one you want to attend. I haven't been to that one for quite a while though and it's a little bit of a drive for me. Mesa is closer to home.

[QUOTE=mstromquist;1598778426]Glad your grandson enjoyed himself and hope he keeps enjoying them. Probably not going to make any road trips this year but one never knows. I'll check out that caravan for sure though. I'd love to see Route99 sometime also. One thing for certain is one is never done with a car if you mod it. You can tell your son that the car show I was talking about on his side of town is called CRUIZ’n To The Lakes on March 23rd at the Estrella Mountain Ranch amphitheater, on the grass overlooking Estrella’s north lake if he wants something to do that day and check out some cool stuff. Not sure how far a drive it will be for him. This will be my first time at this show so I don't know what to expect.
I’ll pass it on to him. Thanks, again!

It goes on every Saturday afternoon but slows down quite a bit during the summer months. I will keep you in mind if I ever need anything and I'll pass it along also. Thanks.
