What a Macktastic weekend! Friday was cool and damp with scattered sprinkles and mist mainly later in the evening. Obsession, the kindergarten teacher singing group, pulled off most of their performance until the sprinkles got heavy enough to warrant covering their equipment.

The Mack Brothers Motor Car Company Clam Bake re-enactment was a great success. Over 100 Mack-Wackos ganged up Firday night to take on shrimp, clams, hot-dogs, burgers, salads, drinks and desserts. I am proud to announce that the Mack-Wackos won, the piles of food put up a good fight but we proved dominant. If everything works out, it looks as if the Mack Brothers Clam Bake will be held again next year.

Saturday was a Macktabulous day! The weather was great, the trucks on display were beautiful and the crowd was completely enjoying the day. I did not hear how many trucks ended up attending but there was a great turnout. A couple of the highlights were: Superliner V-8 from Canada, ED with a hand-crank dump body, Ultraliner with the stripes continued on the upholstery as well, A-54 integral sleeper survivor, Superliner with stainless and an interior trimmed with suede interior, Magnums, R-models, B-models, L-models, F-models, U-models, trucks, foretrucks, equipment, junkyard, vendor area...

THERE IS NO WAY TO POINT OUT THE HIGHLIGHTS!

If you are a Mack enthusiast, Mack Days are a must attend.

I have to look at my camera to see if I took any photos, if I did, I will post some.
