July 18, 2009 - Mason's Annual Car Show

July has been a busy month for troops so far! Saturday July 18th found us in Lawrenceville, GA for the Mason's Annual Car Show to raise money for Charity. The Mason's have always been a bit of a mystery to me (they still are!) but one of them is also one uf us, and Greg asked us if we could come out and troop the Car Show.


Once again we were blessed with a cooler than normal July afternoon. Someone is smiling down on us since we were to be out in the sun the whole time trooping. Here we are waving to the passersby. That was too funny walking around the downtown, like this sort of thing happens all the time.




Joey brought his famed Batlanta Crime Cruiser, aka the Batmobile to the event and he also snapped these candid shots of us. I guess he was trying to be a bit artistic in his camera angles. Funny... this was a car show afterall and we didn't get many shots of the actual cars! (Except for his Batmobile, of course!)

Afterward we always get a little loopy. For fun I decided to grab Liz's TIE bucket and put it on. I popped the hoses into my pouches. And that was it... everyone had to get into the act. Dogs and cats, living together... mass hysteria!


It was a great afternoon. After last weekends gruelling (in a good way) Museum troop, this afternoon was very laid back and low key.


And here's the gang (minus Liz who snapped the photo) at the traditional after-troop meal. We walked up the street a few blocks to McCray's Tavern, got tables up on the roof overlooking the downtown square and finished the afternoon in style with a few beers and good times!
