Hey! Guess what?Big Smile<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
I was in the Stumptown parade in Guerneville, was in my car. <o:p></o:p>
(well this is not my car but looks exactly like it.)<o:p></o:p>

Had a friend who was an electrician and he had magnetic signs on his jeep. I put those on my car and had a sponsor. I was second in line after the grand marshal of the parade. I mostly wanted to be in the parade so they could announce what kind of car I had and then the town would know. But wouldn’t you know it? Right as I drove by the announcer’s booth, the microphone went out.
:winneris: About a week later I got a message on my phone saying I won first place in the parade and that I had a trophy waiting for me at the chamber of commerce in Grnv’l. I was all excited and picked it up. I was a medium sized trophy, and gold and purple with “Stumptown Sam” on it.
:wow:I have an award winning antique car! :wow:<o:p></o:p>
