The 30th Committee would like to thank all who participated,
bringing their Vettes out on this cool February Day.
Your patience and willingness to work with us while the
Vette positioning took place was greatly appreciated.
The final count was 72 Vettes and 101 participants - Cowtown's
largest group photo to date.
Next Steps: Ken Spencer will be have the film developed,
then digitized so that he can provide it to me digitally,
where I will digitally enhance the photo - prior to making
prints available to the membership. We will be working
up a price sheet for the prints as well.

Photos w/MAC were provided by Doug & Glenda McMahan

After the lift was delivered around 10:45 AM and before
everyone showed up, we did a test shot from 30' up in the
air, looking South, to check shadows - bad news as we had
expected.
Without the high-overcast that we had hoped for, the shadows
on Sharon's face made her unrecognizable. You notice
we already had the cars facing South in anticipation of
needing to shoot towards the North with the North sun
bearing down on us from the South. |

Ken Spencer (member) took the photos using a 30' scissor lift
we rented from Taylor's Rentals |

We
positioned Larry & Sylvia Hoaldridge's '56 front center
since he has been a loyal, contiguous Charter Member since
the Club's founding in 1974, along with this being the
oldest Vette at the photo shoot.
The photo layout centered around this Vette, which was
followed by several more C1s, then C2s, C3s, C4s and C5s
outward from the center. |

Vettes were staged by generation and color as they arrived,
allowing us to select Vettes to fill-in the arrangement
while keeping like colors apart. |

|
|
 |
The first row was starting to fill-in, giving
us a reference points for the rest of the grouping |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Based off the Vettes that were validated to participate,
especially the "vintage glass", we had strategically placed
these Vettes by color. As we started filling lining
the Vettes up, we ended up with a few holes to fill once
they arrived. |

The event turned out to be a good social for many to stand
around and catch up with each other. |
