Galaxie Gathering Number 30 was held on Saturday, August 14, 2010 from 11 am until 2 pm at the All Ford Classic Car Show at Hines Park Ford in New Hudson. This was our first of two August events! There were goody bags, door prizes, food, music by BlackJack (great cover band!), a 50/50 raffle, etc. We had our own designated parking area reserved just for our Galaxies.
Check out the FANTASTIC YouTube video below of Galaxie Gathering Number 30 made by Roy Oberg, club member John Oberg's very talented brother - this film is going to move you!:
Roy also created another YouTube video covering the entire car show:
