Another great KI event. Many thanks to Bill and Pam Webner for everything they did in making sure this event went on as originally planned. It was a fantastic weekend and a near record turnout. (I was told 66 buses). Many thanks to the OVT and Buses by the Beach folks who came out. Everyone had a really great time and the weather was obviously fantastic! So, lets go with some of the photos...
When you see this sign, you know the fun is about to begin...
I think it was a "panel" theme this year...
Carlos from Lorain brought Ken's '64 "Vegas" bus, (a former panel modified by Bowman and Son's into a camper) to the island.
The paint and bodywork on this bus was nothing short of spectacular.
Randy and Frank had a beachfront compound.
Frank brought the OVT colors.
It doesn't get better than this.
This year, there was even some boating going on, LEAKOIL style.
Hank and Sue made it up.
Camp Cunningham.
Gregg and I scored some primo parking, but no one made an offer on my bus.
Kirk got the old panel next to Bill's shop running and brought it out for its maiden KI visit.
It was an old telephone bus down in the Carolinas years ago. Kind of cool the phone company drove VW's.
Up on town Chuck found a "LEAKOIL" dollar from the late 1990's he put up back in the day.
Ted Chaney brought his '60 Mango bus up from Columbus. Puts mine to shame.
Oh yea, my rig made it.
The Cunninghams sponsored a "paint a bus" event for the kids. Came out great!
Brett (Crapatron) really helped out this year. Thanks Brett! I think his wife and sister in law (Julie) had a good time too!
Speaking of help, this guy (Matt) nailed it.
This cake seems to show up every year! And it's gone every year too!
Deadhead had the Halloween theme going big time.
The potluck on Saturday was killer.
The line got a little long. (I put a blurry one in for Chuck)
Too much excitement!
Packed house. (Another blurry one for Chuck)
Saturday night.
