Four reasons to tour the Packard Proving Grounds:

#1. Albert Kahn's designs are open for all to see.

The attendance for our Fall Annual Open House was fantastic – easily our best turnout for this event ever.

Normally we like to start at 1:00 PM and I got there just before 11:30 to help set-up. But when I arrived things were already underway. A lot of cruisers rolled up early and were backing up onto VanDyke so we opened the gates for them. Soon afterward people started to arrive while we were still getting the place ready. It was busy all day until we closed up late in the afternoon.

I was so busy that I did not even have a chance to get out my camera and take some photos. If any of you attended, then I would ask you to post your photos to share and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!
