[TR] TRF Summer Party

[Steve Thornton]

Thanks Marty for sharing this.  If I go to only one show in a Summer, this is
it.

For those of you who haven't been to The Summer Party, it is a very different
weekend from other shows. While the Car Show is nice, it is not the focus of
the weekend. There is something for everyone. My wife and children, who don't
necessarily enjoy car shows like I do, enjoy this one. Many of the same people
come back each year, which also makes it like a TR reunion.

You can camp, stay at a hotel (all levels available) or enjoy one of the
several wonderful bed and breakfast opportunities available in Indiana or
Dilltown. The bed and breakfast we like is the Dillweed, which is very close
to TRF.

Personally, I enjoy the Drive-in movie. How cool is it to be at the Drive-in
with your Triumph? It is a great sight to see all of those TR's lined up at
the theatre.

I also enjoy hanging out in the repair shop at TRF. They will do repair work
for cars having difficulties while traveling. This is a great place to listen
and learn. That is where I initially met Fred Thomas. He spent almost his
entire time at The Summer Party helping repair cars and getting people back on
the road, enjoying every minute of it. Perhaps that is the best way to
describe the spirit of the event, while remembering a dear old friend.

Hey Marty, would Fred have worn a Toga?
