Hello y'all, This is the 2nd article on the 43 VanNationals in Altamont, Illinois. This one features the late model Vans. Sorry but the pictures aren't like going to a cruise-in. We had lots of rain and mud. But the show went on as planned.The people who put this event on over came many problems and still had a since of humor.Paulette and I rented a cart so we could get around the large fair grounds. They also had 8 person carts as bus service ( came by every 20 minutes ) so you could get to where you wanted to be.These came in handy when the beautiful green grass & dry roads turned in to Chocolate Pudding !!! Hay!!! this just made into an adventure. but it did keep the tractor and tow rope busy.There were 550+ Vans-- that is over a 1000 people having fun !! Paulette and I are old time Vanners and Classic car people so I know y'all can look at these vehicles and enjoy the work and love put into them. Till next time-- Dale& Paulette Satterlee-- Reporters for Western Kentucky
