Last week was the big annual spring meetup in Branson MO.   It was a great time, taken to a all new level by the leadership of the Ozark Z Club....    Thanks Josh

There were cars, there were beverages, there was entertainment, but most of all.... the was FOOD!   If you ever need to host a event with food, tap into the Wodopian clan and Scott M for advice.  These guys know how to plan and execute with the best in the business!   Did I mention there was food...

Last year we had a summit meeting and Zup coined the phrase geeZers and the founding group was born.  Only 2 rules, you must be 55+ and own a genuine Z car.  Mike brought his brother Paul and his son down from Chicago to join the fun.  On Thursday was the traditional charity dinner put on by the event, then Friday, the geeZers rolled out a amazing steak & shrimp fajita bar, fed all comers with donations going to the charity.   Huge thanks to MikeW & his brother Paul, Paul's son, ScottM & his son in law Taylor, MikeR (of Scarab fame), and Zup.  It was fantastic.

To top it off, on Saturday, after the show ended, Paul and his son fired up the grills again and treated us to a taste of Chicago.  Authentic dogs from the Chicagoland area and Maxwell's with all the fixins.   Very, yummy!

It was a incredible week of fun and a great launch for the geeZers....

You are so right Mike.   it was great to attend a normal car event after the havoc of the pandemic last year.  The hotel was sold out, over 110 registered plus guests.

Taylor made some drone footage of the show.  Will have to find it and post it.

Thanks for posting this Jim2!

Many, many thanks to Josh Lymon of the Ozark Z Car Club for organizing this gathering!

It was the best Zfest ever!

Great food---Z friends not seen for 2 years-----days and nights of sharing Z stories, current and past builds, plans for the future---couldn't be better for this old geeZer!

Hey! I can't wait for the next one already!!!

 Where can I get a GeeZer t-shirt. Kathy says I need one.

We will have to check your ID to see if you meet the age requirement ...  

I got a fake ID that says I'm 3 years older, 18 to 21, from the late 80s. Is that acceptable? If so that would put me at the right age to be a GeeZer.

I burned mine when I turned 21...

 Is that physical or mental age? I'd be glad to verify that the calender says I'm 72. Mentally, I don't qualify.
