The June rally was a great success thanks to Steve and Judy Kincaid and Chuck and Marci Bayman. Thursday evening we all met at the Golden Corral for a never ending meal which could have been lethal were it not for the will power shown by most of us (dodged a bullet there). Friday we all attended a great tour of the historic Fort Wayne courthouse. While no pictures were allowed I'm sure most of the images are still very clear in the minds of all who attended. We also visted a new manufacturer in the Summit City called Cinda B. Named for the owner, a former Vera Bradley employee, Cinda B manufactures an extensive line of handbags, luggage and accessaries. The factory was in full operation and it was amazing to see the hand work and hear how the product goes from Cinda B's idea to final production and shipping. Of course the ladies needed to shop at the discount area but the guys patiently waited for them as the seats in the room were very comfy. 
I was pleased to see that they also support our military producing several items for use by our fighting men. Saturday, included a visit to a personal collection of both antique and modern performance cars. The collection belonged to Pete Keelan an engineer/architect and build manager for a local firm. Pete also was an Air Force fighter pilot and current National Guard pilot and sometimes racecar driver. He showed us 16 of his 110 car collection and each one had a story. Many of his cars are in museums around the world. I think we could have talked with Pete all day but many wanted to attend Riverfest a festival in Fort Wayne happening on Saturday. There was also a Windmill museum visited Saturday afternoon so it was a full day. It all ended with a wonderful catered meal Saturday night. Sunday we met for donuts ,coffee and said our goodbyes. Thanks rallymasters for a memorable rally.
