Great Day

Thanks to everyone who came out for another great Founder's Day. Despite the heat, lots of folks visited Bowdon for the celebration. Hope you got to see the fireworks, they were spectacular.

Another thanks to all those who dropped by the shop. We saw lots of familiar faces and lots of new ones. Many dealers had special weekend sales and our customers took advantage of it.
