6 39 th Annual FCA National Meet-Wichita In July Carolyn and I had the opportunity to attend the FCA National Meet in Wichita, KS. Our trip out took 3 days with overnight stays in MS and AR meeting up with fellow FCA members at each overnight stop, continuing or journey as a Falcon group. The weather didn t cooperate as we hit really heavy rain each day of our travels. After arrival in Wichita the temperatures were extremely hot, triple digits but thankfully there was some shade around the show field. Lots of very nice Falcons on hand with the final count being 197 Falcons on the show field. Suncoast Members and dear friends, Dave and Mary Wagner and Dick and Linda Harrington also attended this event. I spent most of my time in a swap space peddling Falcon parts and pieces so did not get to really check out the show cars. Every time I do the swap meet vendor thing I promise myself that it will be the last time as it is very confining to man the swap space. Carolyn and Carol Springer (Texas) planned a side trip on our return trip home stopping in Pawhuska, OK. Location of the Pioneer Woman Restaurant and Mercantile. We spent most of 1 day enjoying lunch in the famous restaurant and following Carol, Carolyn and Abby around the Mercantile during their shopping spree. Not a bad side trip as the ladies really enjoyed the visit. After the Pawhuska stop, the Springers headed southwest to Texas and we headed southeast to Florida arriving home late Tuesday evening. Next year the FCA National Meet will be in Winter Park, CO. Must decide, drive Falcon, trailer Falcon or fly, the easy way. Chuck and Carolyn Suncoast Chapter Members - 6 -
