In case you missed it - here are some
highlights:

This year went a lot different. Planning and organizing.....re-planning.....and still - the weather man thought it was time to bring in the ice and snow. We had to cancel the tour because of the dangerous driving condiditons.
Freeways closed, cars stranded, and we stayed warm and cozy in the Conference Center and had a great time meeting with our friends from near and far.

Despite the weather and the driving conditions, everybody had a great time.
We all made lots of new friends and re-kindled our friendship with others.
All of us hope to see you back in Oklahoma City when it's time for the 12th Southern Plains N-Scale Convention.
