A very special shout out to @DarkSquid (James) for finding, ordering, assembling, & gathering donations for Bella's Slingshot! He also came up with her designer license plate.
Also, to @V-SHOT (John) for lending me his "Baby" (uh, I mean the Slingshot, not Velma! ) so I could take my 85 year old Dad out for a Slingshot ride! (BTW, those on the fence regarding sway bars - I could feel a substantial improvement in handling/cornering with @V-SHOTs Slingshot due to the sway bar).
Thanks to all of you locals for the great food & providing all of the necessary "accessories" to make the party such a success (tables, chairs, tents, grills, coolers, etc.). A LOT of work, forethought & love went into this event.
Thanks to all of you who traveled great distances just to be there. @mytoy & his charming Barbie get the long distance award! Thanks to @adventure4me for delaying your trip to Florida so you could attend! You're a real trooper, a beautiful person & a real sweetheart!
Finally, a huge & special thank you to @KayTwo & @sideseatdriver for all of their hard work, preparation & opening up their home to have this event in the first place!
And now, some pics of @KayTwo & @sideseatdrivers chickens just to torment @Slingshot Garage & @SundreSlingQueen

BTW, @V-SHOT is always talking about @sideseatdrivers cookies - folks, he ain't lyin'! That woman can BAKE!!!

If someone could pass on the original to me - That is definitely a print and frame picture.

I am so happy to hear everyone had a good time! We loved having all of you over for fun, food, and family. @Tripod , Crystal and her family are awesome. Hopefully we will gwt to see her again before they take off for bigger and better things. I can't say enough about the support from our local community in getting everything we needed to make the party a success ( V-SHOT, @DarkSquid, @Slej and @av8ingtom), participation from our mid-range guys ( Designer, and @MACAWS), and the amazing participation from our far ranging friends. @'adventure4me, @'barbie', and @mytoy). Thanks guys for making this community feel like family.

Unfortunately, @KayTwo isn't in the photo!! Maybe someone can photo shop him in. @mytoy and @barbie, glad you are safely home - I just pulled into WalMart with a whole bunch of RVs spending the night.
Thank you those of who posted photos! I think everyone who wasn't there can tell we had a wonderful time welcoming Crystal home! Just such a great memory which I lived on the drive today!
@KayTwoand @sideseatdrivers hospitality continued this morning with coffee and breakfast plus 'care packages' for we overnighters! They definitely deserve that award - thanks for awarding it @Tripod - er, I mean Brenda!

These are Bella's first approach to her SS! Look at that smile!

Without repeating all the great comments everyone has already posted, I would just like to say "thank you." This weekend would not have been as awesome without the support and cameraderie from everyone. This was a team effort.
I would also like to publicly thank @roadog1aj, @Painter, @Slej, and @NatomasSlingshot1 for the financial donations towards the party and/or the miniSling that @DarkSquid put together. I know that some other folks donated directly to him who I don't know specifically by name, but thank you all for participating in your own way - you did a great deal to take the stress and load off us, and it is also greatly appreciated.
It did me good to see those 7 Slings in my front yard, and the 20 or so people mingling and laughing together. You honored us with your presence.
Last thank you - to @sideseatdriver for indulging me in my harebrained ideas, for riding along with me throughout, and for participating in this new family endeavor of ours. Love you, baby.
