Thanksgiving Pot Luck
2 pm - 6 pm FREE!! We had over 75 folks stop by to share their Thanksgiving meal with us. This was so incredible, enjoyable, and touching. This is by far largest crowd to ever spend this special day with us. We are so pleased at the turn out and hope everyone had a nice time and enjoyed their meal.
See Blue Angels Photo Show
We want to thank Mikey for bringing this simulator to us and showing it off to the folks. We had car clubs, schools, and folks from all over coming out to take their turn at getting on board the simulator. This event was very special to the Military folks around, and as you know there are several of them in the area. The Air Force came out and took their turns as well in this Navy simulator and really enjoyed the experience. Thank you Navy for allowing this to happen as we greatly appreciated the opportunity and experience.
E.T. Full Moon Midnight Marathon, 1/2, & 10K - Aug 25-26 (Sat & Sun)
What can be said except it was a smashing success! There is not enough ways to describe all the participation that took place in this marathon. Last count had almost 200 folks in the marathon alone. The weather was fantastic, the Little A'Le'Inn was open all night full service and it was a good thing that it was. Constantly pleasant folks (and hungry, thirsty, and other types) came through these doors in support of this effort. The event may turn into a semi-annual running.
We are unable to tell you all that happened, however, stay tuned and check in on their website for further information and updates including pictures and the whole run down of the event (pun intended - sorry). The link to the site is listed below. Again, we want to take this time and thank everyone that helped, ran, assisted, drove, did communications, served food and drinks, etc.... THANKS!!
- August 25-26, 2007. Midnight races! Extraterrestial Highway; Rachel, NV (2- 2.5 hours from Las Vegas)
- Running along the fringe of the mysterious Area 51, this stretch of highway (375) has an overwhelming number of reported UFO sightings. So much so, that in 1996 the federal government officially named highway 375 the Extraterrestrial Highway. Not only is the ET Highway full of alien fun, it traverses some gorgeous scenery as well.
- At roughly 4000-5600 foot elevation, the high desert abounds with joshua trees and other vegetation unique to the area. This road is also "open range", so don't be surprised if you're passing cows on course!
- The Little A'Le'Inn will be there at the finish line to support this effort. It is expected to be open to support those that need drinks and food. Open all night for the race and the public.
- Come join in the fun. This is going to be a very exciting and unusual event under the most star filled skies.

What a great experience and a lot of fun. We were able to see these mini cars at their best. It is amazing to say the least at what such a small vehicle like this can and has accomplished in the uses it gets from around the world of racing and everyday driving.
Thanks goes to all who stopped in or by to check out these vehicles. The food, people, and vehicles were all a shear delight.

We, Pat and Bill, would like to thank everyone who came out and attended the wedding and reception. Each and everyone who helped put this together and pull it off - thanks for all the hard work and effort. Special thanks to Marta and her husband for allowing us the use of such a beautiful area to perform the ceremony. Thank you all for the gifts that were greatly appreciated - thank you notes are on there way.
We loved the gifts, the company, the vast number of people who travelled great distances to get here, and everything about the wedding. Yes, there are special memories and things that happened to make this a most memorable wedding. We will be posting pictures of the events leading up to the day, the wedding, and the reception.

"THE LONGEST OFF-ROAD RACE IN THE UNITED STATES"
I believe this letter below from TSCO sums up the event nicely in which over 450 attended:
Thank you so much for all of the work you did on Saturday! Your lunch was fabulous and we had lots of comments about how good the food was. I didn't know you would have to work so hard and so long and I really appreciate all of the work you and your team did to make the lunch such a huge success. Thank you again and I hope you have a profitable day on Friday, Aug 25! Also, thank you for giving up your secret stash of gas!
Best Wishes, Diane

The most green shades worn contest went to Bob with no less than 7 shades of green to be seen. The day after it might just be 8 or 9 shades! Maybe due to envy, or something about being green around the gills.
Our thanks goes out to our panel of independent judges form Alta, California, who made the final decisions in determining our contest winner.
