We will be joining everyone else that is searching for an outstanding combination of history and FUN at Northern Pacific Depot Day 2008 in Wallace, Idaho. You can go to youtube.com and there is a great video of the collector cars from last year’s show. Plenty of American classic metal on wheels, delicious food, interesting vendors, and some of the best live music in the Pacific NW. This is shaping up to be an entertaining and fun outing for the family right before Mothers Day. John and I are looking forward to spending the day visiting with folks in Wallace during Depot Day. There is a festival, free tours of the historic depot, arts and crafts fair on the lawn at the depot, and of course … the cool cars.

See you in Wallace,

Joyce
