Kingston is a beautiful old college town on the shore of Lake Ontario, reminds me a bit of Eugene Oregon. A charming town to hold an event. The cars are displayed on a roadway immediately alongside a green park filled with big trees. A beautiful setting. The hotel and its accomodations are fantastic, the staff was friendly, and it has the only underground parking in the city, where the Panteras are protected from the elements and vandalism. The scenery on the way to Kingston is lush countryside and north-east style forrest.
This is a first class event, kudos to those involved in its planning and execution. Kudos to all those who took the time to contact owners and stay on top of getting people to attend. When you put an event like this together you learn one thing, there is a symbiotic relationship between the event and the attendees, both are needed for success. So kudos also to all the attendees.
It was a joy to meet all who I had the chance to meet, to put faces to names, to see your cars in person, meet your lovely spouses and to make new friends. I love you all. Serving the Pantera community is all the more rewarding when its personal, when I'm helping friends and acquaintances rather than strangers. Thank you for making me feel welcome. I will be back, to catch up with all my new friends.
