The party's over...

All good things must come to an end...and so it is with the 2011 Thunderegg Days. We had awesome weather, wonderful crowds, great vendors, toe-tappin' entertainment, delicious food....cars, quilts, lawnmower dragsters, in other words, "rocks and more"!
Mark your calendars for July 12, 13, 14, 2012 and come to Nyssa!

'till next year, Susan

The fun continues...

Friday was soooo busy, I didn't have time to write! Beautiful weather, the rock tour went out for plume and came back with some nice pieces. Lots of people all day long making the rounds to the various rock, gem and artisan vendors and eating in the food court. New this year was our "courtesy cart" to assist folks around the lawns. Thank you G.R.ate Pizza!
The car show was just fantastic with over 70 entries. Beautiful cars and a few works in progress. Hopefully we will see those in the coming years.
Fantasy Karaoke rocked the house.

The evening ended with the parade of cars as the entries left the car show....a beautiful full moon...and the last song from Ron & Connie.

Oh! My favorite moment of the day was sitting with my feet in a lavender foot soak while I sipped on a chocolate chip milkshake. Now thats livin'!!

Opening Day

The Moore Sisters were awesome singing our National Anthem at the opening ceremony. Kylieanne Lowe, Miss Nyssa Nite Rodeo was there, as was Nyssa Mayor Brent Huffman and members of the Nyssa Chamber Board.

We are having a great day! Come join the fun.....
