| Last year we started the Flamingo awards. This year we are stepping up the game a little. Our very own Brokecello has generously donated not only the dash plaques once again, but also several awards. Peoples Choice Best non-wagon and Wagon something or other. (sorry I forgot) Anyway, I ordered up some more flamingos and so far have only come up with one category: The Glen West WF Spirit Award. - Glen helped ALOT with the previous 3 FL WF and attended several others. He will be sorely missed and we decided to honor his memory with this special Flamingo award. It will be given to that attendee that we feel best exhibits the love and enthusiasm that Glen demonstrated. As for the rest of the flamingos, I'm open for some suggestions. Serious, tongue in cheek is fine too. so load up the replies with your suggestions. The top 4 will be chosen by the super secret panel of WF executives | |

Last year there would have been quite a bit of competition for that award. I hope no one wins that this year. I had a 700 mile flat bed ride home from WF VA, 3 years ago. I don't want anyone to beat that record. Tom | |

| I still like the most rust. And, from personal experience, most unlikely to gain entrance to venue with your car. | |

| Glenn wasn't a long-hauler though. He came from St. Augustine. Only about an hour drive.
I think the Glenn award should be like, Best Buick or something. His was always super clean. |

Glen West Spirit of WF. Glenn did alot to help me the last 3 years and never wanted Recognition for it as he was low key. The award will be decided by how enthusiastic, helpful, and genuine stoke level by the participant | |
