Didn;t here TBN mention once is these vids. Nice job.

It may not have been mentioned in that video but I will say that TBN was a topic of discussion on many occasions throughout the event, and my I add all comments I heard were nothing but good. TBN was well represented in my honest opinion.

Im bummed I missed this. Shouldve paid more attention. Is it an annual thing in Dearborn ?. I live nearby. Was it timed with the dream cruise?

I'll second this. Everytime the "clubs" were mentioned in speeches during the event, TBN was mentioned in the same breath. Bart, the event organizer, asked me to speak on TBN's behalf at the closing banquet. I did my best to do so. Donna Eberhardt snapped this picture of my attempt to explain 20+ years of TBN history in 5 minutes or so. I emphasized the things that make TBN different from a traditional club and that our highest "award" is to be a member of the Celebrate 48 Club.

........ and that our highest "award" is to be a member of the Celebrate 48 Club.

With all due respect, that, of course, is just the opinion of the person who created that "award" to celebrate their own accomplishment. Perhaps the real highest "award" should be a plaque given out that reads "Event Organizer". They are the ones who truly helped keep TBN great.

Arrived home Monday at 3PM. Spent Sunday night in Ashville arriving there around 7PM after driving through a heavy rainstorm in the GREAT SMOKEY MOUNTAINS. It was a good reunion and hope everyone made it home safe. Until we cruise again.

Thanks for your video. I’m not on FB but I could still see it.

Doug, your response is disappointing in that I was sure you'd say the "Trunk Mat Club" was the most important.

Anything that happens on TBN is usually created by an individual or a very small group with a vision. The by-in is what makes it important. FWIW, the 48 Dash Plaque was not developed until there were multiple cars/people that had accomplished the task. To date, only 17 cars have claimed the award.

I agree the events have been the heart and soul of TBN. However, if an award plaque was given for planning an event, a few of us would be out of wall space.
