Saturday Morning Convoy will return this year. Last year was great fun and we are working on adding/changing the route for any returning participants.
So get your vehicle ready, change the oil and check the tires as there is plenty of room to drive around in the period atmosphere. Or you can take farm to market roads all over the area what use to be Camp Howze all the way up to Red River if you want to!
