This past Saturday at the monthly NVCC meeting Bryan educated us on how he plans to use panel adhesive and rivets to install a new front lower windshield panel on the green plasti-dipped LM Corsa. Next we shared a great casserole by chef Ellie, plus some donuts, coffee, and juice! But the most important part of the meeting was to start planning for the upcoming Vair Fair! The 2019 Vair Fair is being hosted by the NVCC in Leesburg a week earlier the typical - 26-28 April.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We are having another Vair Fair planning meeting at 9am this Saturday (2 March!) at my home in Alexandria - 7025 Coventry Road, please plan to attend!</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So far we have hammered out the following:</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Chair: Greg</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Registration: Vernon (are you available Vernon?)</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">THEME?

Rather than having a Valve Cover Race, we are going to have Corvair Parts Games which everyone can participate in since they do not have to bring anything with them! Plans so far are for a fan belt toss, dropping a pushrod into a pushrod tube on the ground while standing, and _______________ (we need to come up with a few more games so put your thinking caps on!</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Saturday morning: People's Choice Corvair Show/Display - cars must be in place by 9am and voting closing at noon!</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Saturday lunch: Typically we fund a buffet from Costco (wraps, salads, cookies, drinks, etc), but there was some pushback from some in attendance because of the cost and money lost on extra food. Last night I was thinking maybe a FOOD TRUCK can be reserved and everyone can just buy what they want for lunch onsite. Does anyone know anyone with a food truck? Is there an upfront cost? What would be the back up plan if they don't show up?</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Saturday afternoon: Poker Rally! Right now the plan is to give two cards at the start, one at three stops along the way and another two cards at the finish, Texas Hold'em-style! We may include some extra Corvair-related trivia questions and if participants answer those correctly, they can pull another card. We shall see... Bryan and Ellie volunteered for the Poker Rally. Plans are for a stop at a winery, ice cream stand, and antique shop/mall along the route (where we will ask the proprietors to dole out the poker cards, so we don't have to staff these locations). Also, B&E try to find a scenic spot, maybe an old run-down gas station(?) to take a photo for the plaques.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Saturday for dinner, attendees will be on their own for dinner at local restaurants.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">At 8pm we will have CAKE(!), coffee, and awards!</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Speaking of AWARDS, rather than trophies, we will take a photo of everyone's Corvair and custom make a plaque (framed glass) with the name, photo, etc. (I will look into the cost of 5x7 and 8x10 frames at Michael's.) Bryan volunteered for the computer, printer, supplies.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We will not be doing anything formal on Sunday, other than final clean-up; however, we will offer attendees the opportunity to visit some of our local attractions - for example, the Udvar Hazy Center!</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If I am forgetting anything, or anyone, please forward and/or reply to all on this list so we can host a GREAT Vair Fair!</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Also, this will be a good dry run for our club, since we will probably be co-hosting the CORSA Convention in 2021!!! <br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Thank you!
