    Sorry gang, but I just learned tonight I will be attending the Father-Daughter dance at my daughter's high school on the 9th.

    Does May 2nd sound like a good date???

    Let's see if a mess of people chime in and say they can or can't attend. I'm trying to do it so the majority can be there.

    I'll lay all the tarps I can to prevent a mud bog.

    Go ahead and change the title, Marco.

    The real father is a deadbeat.

    May Moon squat in your Froot Loops, Alan.

    Joe, you missed the year where we were all rained on by millions of maple tree seed pods! I'm still finding those things in my car! Ahh, the memories!:grin:

    The mud isn't a big deal for the cars....just don't want to trash Yard's yard.

    I know. It's pretty cool what he does.

    Wish I would've found it sooner.

    How many have there been?

    Walt - I too suffered from this until I found the solution:

    Put a ziploc sammich bag in the glovebox labeled with a Shaprie "For Yardley". During the year as you find them (and all of us that were there still do) you put them in the zippy one buy one ... each and every time you find them.

    Then, when YardStain announces the date for next years' picnic the smile begins to grow on your face, culminating into a Wide Ass Grin the day of the picnic. You wait ... wait .... wait for just the right minute when he walks away from the Riv and then you run for your stash, rip open the door of the Rivi and sprinkle them inside

    Shhh .... dont tell anyone our secret

    I think this is my 4th in a row. maybe my 5th.

    Dugssin will know. He has all the shirts. I think they are framed and in a glass case in his living room.

    I consider the first time to be when J.W. came over,from the great white north, to help with the cam . Maybe only 8 or 10 guys but that was my first time to meet my Buick family. 2001 ??? or 2002

    Check out Yard's pics on his website for some history.:TU:

    Re: Yardley's Picnic - NEW DATE!

    I agree, Doug.

    Let's see... Duane's picnic was in August, 2002. And I believe Jim was here either that May or the May a year earlier.

    Wizard was there, so maybe he can give us a year.

    Can you see how many shirts you have from my picnics. Doug? I think this is the 4th year in a row, but it could be 5. Shame we had no shirts from Jim's cam-change appearance.
