This weekend, I'll be heading to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St Paul for the Gopher State Buick Club's Spring Extravaganza on May 2. I've been attending this show since I was a wee little lad. Although the event is hosted by the Buick club, there are hundreds of vehicles of all types in addition to those of the "Tri-shield" persuasion, plus a great swap meet and a healthy car corral.
If you're in the upper Midwest and looking for a destination, swing by the Spring Extravaganza Car Show & Swap Meet. You won't regret it; I know I never do!
