2007 New Braunfels Swap Meet 2008

50th Anniversay Celebration of George's Triple XXX Drive-In at Joe's Ice House.

There was a pretty good turn out considering the short notice. Thanks to all the members who were able to make it: Butch, Hank & Mikey, Doug & Carlene, Eddie & Sunny, Tom, Don and Kit all showed up through out the day.

Georgia and Eddie were very moved and appreciative of the turn out. They had some great pictures and albums on display. I got some good pictures and as soon as we get a new computer I will get them posted here.

Joe Pena, the owner of Joe's Ice House, would like to make this an annual event every September, and would also like to host a car show in the spring.

Thanks again to everyone who was able to make the event.
