[Larry N Johnson]

Here is the latest from Factory Five:

We will be setting up the rig with a full staff at the Knotts Show on Saturday and Sunday, as we did last year (and have every year for the past decade).

The Huntington Beach Cruise-In will run after the Knotts Show - like Roger said - it doesn't take too much coaxing to scatter the parking lot and head down to the beach.

Just to let everyone in on our thought process, last year Factory Five represented (our booth, customers and vendors supporting the FFROG community) more than 50% of the Knotts show field, and this year we expect to gain a greater share than that.

From the feedback we've been getting from our customers over the years, the greater majority seem to want to do something more than hang around a hot parking lot. Perhaps we moved too quickly on pulling the plug on Knotts - our bad.

This year we'll do our awards presentation at Knotts a bit earlier than usual and head down to the coast, and perhaps we can all enjoy the late afternoon and dinner down there together.

So go ahead, send in your Knotts registration forms, just indicate that you'll be part of the Factory Five throng, but don't send any money (we'll cover the cost of the spaces at the show again).

There should be a post on our website regarding the two events (with registration info) sometime this weekend.

Should you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly

Thanks for your patience and understanding.
