First A BIG Thank you To Everyone
That attended and to everyone that helped pull this event off.
There were four who traveled all the way from Austria to attend, and several from the West Coast of the US, But in any event it took a big comment of time and money for everyone that came, Thanks You
And to everyone that helped get us ready Thank You, My brothers partner Cal was planning this event since January, he took care of all the registrations payments etc. Cal laid out the whole lead up in a week by week plan with almost weekly reports to Jason and I.
Around the beginning of June when it was becoming evident that I was not going to get the kitchen and the showroom done in time Cal drew up plans and got two contractors to build walls in the showroom and build out the kitchen floor cabinets and counter tops and cabinets.
This also would not have happened without the advance help of many such as Mike Haller [ dishwashercrazy ] who made two separate drives all the way from Illinois and stayed a week both times helping Jason install plumbing and also lots of additional cleaning etc.
And of coarse the guys that came from Michigan Kevin and Ralph and Hans and Donald and Ron that came from North Carolina to do an incredible job feeding everyone, Jason , myself and staff and friends are still enjoying this great food. We still have four refs and freezers still running at the warehouse.
In all there were more than a dozen others that came early and stayed days afterwards to help in this fun endeavor, A BIG thank-you to everyone that helped and attended.
Answers to a few posted questions;
Whats the future of the Museum, We hope to form a nonprofit board that will run and maintain it into the future. If there is anyone interested in possibility being board members let us know.
When will we do another Wash-In;
We are not sure, at least a few years, but I am considering doing a few smaller events where we either rebuild some machines we have here and or have people bring some of there machines that need repairs and or rebuilding.
In any event let us hear your ideas.
John L.
