LATEST COMPLETED ACTIVITY IN 2012 - CAPAY VALLEY ALMOND FESTIVAL.

There were about 10 members and vehicles ready to go for the Capay Valley Almond Festival Run. However, the night prior to the event, the weather forecasters declared that there was to be a seasonal rain storm moving through the area during the scheduled date of the run. Buzz Horn sadly had to inform everyone that the run had to be canceled! The cancellation was not for the direct benefit of the NCDBS Region members; but for the hosts of the event that in previous years of rain abandoned all hope of decorum and folded up shop and extracted themselves and exhibits - leaving the NCDBS with nothing to see except miles of rain slicked roads. We will try again next year.

COMPLETED ACTIVITY IN 2012 - TURLOCK SWAP MEET.

The NCDBS Region set up in Turlock and began it normal distribution of information regarding the National Club, The Northern California Dodge Brothers and Sisters region and responding to inquiries as to parts procurement, etc. This year the "point man" was Mike French aided by Herman and Barbara Boone, Bob and Timber Vincent and Roger Gong. During the day many other members of the NCDBS region stopped by and used the booth as a focal point. Bob Scafani, Al Brohard, Don Cose and others came through the area. It was good to see many old friends and meet many new friends during the day. For more information please proceed to the NCDBS Meets page and click on Turlock Swap Meet.
