Again, I am taking advantage of the flight to Virginia Beach to write this blog. Well the weekend is over, and what a great time we had.

I have to say, Mac Tools pulled out all the stops for this Tool Fair. This was my first trip to Opryland. Actually, it was the first visit for both Gary and I. Debbie and Doug have been there for or five times, for Watermelon Conventions. That’s a story for another blog.

We had a Mac Tools kick-off “Welcome” presentation Friday morning that could have energized the dead. Shortly after that the drivers and country singers were escorted to the main building for Speed Freaks interviews, autograph signing, and photo opportunities. The Speed Freaks had their usual “edgy” conversation starters, such as “Do women in racing really deserve all the attention, without all the accomplishments?” You’ll have to watch the episode to see my response; however, Crash had the strongest responding comments. It’s the first time for me on Speed Freaks, and I had a good time with the gang.

That evening, we attended the Mac Tools award ceremony. Here is a picture of the team, dressed to attend. John Force opened the ceremonies and Chip Foose assisted on the award presentations. Hillary Will, Tommy Johnson Jr., and Del Worsham were other bloggers that were there, so I am sure you will see and hear much more about the weekend.

Saturday was more of the same, with various motorsports drivers popping in and out as the day progressed. For the evening entertainment, Mac tools had a “dress in your favorite music genre” dance. Sonny and Cher, ZZ Top, Cheryl Crow, and KISS were all represented very well by the Mac Tools group.

As you can tell, the weekend was full, entertaining, and fun. I can’t wait until next year. Oh yeah, I put in a picture of Madam DeVine. She was one of the entertaining ones there.

Bye for now.
