Aquino Day

[Terry Witiuk]

Great comments, thoughts and concerns about Aquino. Similar to Robin, I am not part of the organizing committee or staff but have attended the show for the last two years with my vehicle. It's a great event that will only get better with time. I'm sure the event organizers have their hands full with all things that need to be considered or get done and my guess is they most likely do not have enough resources or folks to help out. Anything we can do to make the show better would most likely be appreciated whether it be attending the event, sharing your positive experiences at the event with others, encouraging others to attend, bringing your vehicle out for display or possibly being a volunteer at the event. The thread started out as an invitation for OMVA members to attend and if any members can do this, it would certainly be one way to help out and support Aquino. As a owner of a military vehicle and militaria collector, it often feels as though there isn't enough out there in terms of satisfying my needs or interest in the "hobby" and often find myself comparing local events to those in the USA or War & Peace Revival. Not a fair comparison but I remain positive, supportive and hopeful that local or Canadian events will grow. I THANK those that do organize or volunteer their time to keep these events and organizations going (OMVA or Aquino) because when they do this, they are giving up an opportunity to enjoy as a spectator or general member. I hope this all makes sense and all is being said in good spirit!
Cheers, Terry.

Great comments and input all. Much thanks. Having been an organizer and co-ordinator on many previous events am fully aware that it is Tylenol City. And yes, the skies opened last year, and there was the deluge. Better luck this year.

Hello guys,
I would like to attend the weekend event this year with a 1944 MK-II* Universal Carrier in tow. While I won't have my MK-II* restored by then, I have received an initial approval to "borrow" a MK-II* for the event.
See you all there.
Regards, Richard Hatkoski

Hello All,

Just wondering why the event is called "Aquino Day"? Just by looking at the subject line I originally thought that it was an event taking place in the Philippines, in honour of the late President Corazon Aquino. Then I opened the thread and noticed people from Canada were involved. Hmmm ???


There is probably a very simple answer to my question....

Kind Regards
Lionel
