GREEN COUNTRY RV SHOW
Mar 27, 2011
Fantastic! Fabulous! Stupendous! Whoopee All The Way!
There is no way we can adequately describe the emotions, the fun, the exhilaration of these past three days that the Tulsa GMC Lunch Bunch guys and gals had at the Annual Green Country RV Dealers RV show…
From the very beginning at noon Friday Mar 25 the people came, the people came and the people came. Six of your Lunch Bunch coaches were invited to participate this year…the Farris, Broostin, Southmayd, Pense, Eimen and Trimble coaches were all dressed up, shined up, and primped a tad so as to
make a good showing…and Fred and Peggy Pitezel came along, minus their coach, just to make sure everything went just right!!
We showed up Thurs pm prior to the show, got our modern day wagons all set in a huge oval circle, hooked up the electricity, set out the “beach” chairs, and “lit” the fireplace…oh yeah, we put out the “Guard Dogs”, too!! (And, just by chance, we put a few goodies in the fridge for snack time, etc…yeah!
Starting at noon Friday, we expected to see a similar crowd as last time…boy, what a shock!! Do believe we had more Friday afternoon that we had all of last show time!! Of course, we had a prime location, too!! When you walked in the door….there we were, pretty as you please…Friday show closed at 9:00 PM, so we were leg weary by bedtime.
Saturday at 10:00 AM we started again…the crowds kept pouring through, camping out with us, questioning us, gawking a bit, too…Lot’s of questions and comments…” Are they starting to make these guys again”…”What do you mean, they are not for sale”…”My Grandfather (Uncle, Cousin, Neighbor) used to have one of these”, “Do you really use them”…
“Really, how much to you want for this one”…”Where’s the engine”, and the proverbial one “How many miles per gal do you get”…Also, “You mean you can still get parts for these old coaches”…
It was not unusual to have 40-50 people in the circle at one time…and so many wonderful comments…”Best Show Here”, “Thanks for bring back so many nice memories”, “I remember these when I was a youngster”, “These are much nicer than those big monsters”, and a favorite one “I didn’t know these
coaches still existed”…”You are kidding, of course”…
Grabbing a snack and a few goodies now and then, it soon became 9:00 PM and time to check out. Sunday noon rolled around and more of the same, except not quite as crowded. We had one gentleman who spent FOUR hours with us Sunday afternoon…You could see the gleam in his eye the whole time…He read
all our literature, perused through three of our scrapbooks (2009, 2010 and 2011)…
Several people remembered us from the last show we participated it and several also remembered us from the Antique and Hot Rod shows we have attended. Some even remembered us from the 2007 Miss Belvedere (OK Centennial\) show we were at in 2007…
Anyhoo, it is now closing time and we are already looking forward to the next show, whenever and where ever it may be…lots of invitation received but a favorite one is the lady inviting us to take a tour of her winery…free samples and also a place to park…
We have attached pics from the recent Antique and Hot Rod Show on Mar 15 here in Tulsa and also from the Green Country RV Show just concluded. Wish you could have been here…hopefully these pics will give you an idea of the fun and pure enjoyment we had showing off our wonderful GMC ladies…Thanks to each and everyone of you for your splendid support and encouragement you have given us.

WOW You Tulsa Lunch Bunchers are to be commended.
What is the chance GMCers in other parts of the country try this.
You can't BUY publicity like this.

Wish we could have been there, Charles, but
at least three OKC coaches were represented
at the monthly OKC Lunch Bunch gathering.
I do have a question, though. What's with all
the numbers interspersed through your text?
Are you using some sort of computer and/or
program that doesn't use standard ASCII
characters?
I still haven't looked at the hotrod pics.
There is an outfit in NE Oklahoma that makes
custom hotrods that makes complete cars and
builds custom engines. They also market oil
coolers that MIGHT have application to GMCs.
Were they there? I have forgotten their name
at the current time.

Super. I loved seeing Glyn's coach all shined up.
I go to local car shows but I am a lonely GMCer. We have no others around.
