[Spridgets] Gauging interest in a spring 2022 OSHIT in Austin, TX

[Linda Grunthaner]

Hi Greg and Spridgeteers,
For those of us who can't make it, please post photos of this awesome OSHIT
event and let us know about the wrench turning done. It always motivates us
to do the same. Greg do you have an account on https://www.ahexp.com.
I love the "Bigger OSHIT" because it's in Texas!
Have fun,
Linda

62 California Sprite "Pinky"

California Sprite because she came from Los Angeles.
"Pinky" because that's what the author Terry Horler called the deep pink
Sprite in his book, Original Sprite and Midget.
