October 4 th was the 3rd annual Canyon Lake Car show. About 210 cars, invite only. The red 40 coupe in the background belongs to the couple that have invited us the last 2 years, Howard and Jane Dague of Canyon Lake.

The Car Show raises funds for the Progeria Research Foundation. Chip Foose lost a sister to Progeria back in the mid 80's. Progeria is a super rare disease that makes children age extremely fast.

Most of the raffel goodies for the day were donated by the Foose family. We won a basket with 6 of the die-cast cars representing either cars from the tv show "Overhaulin" or cars that were designed by Chip Foose.

At the end of the Day as we were heading out we stoped to chat with Chip and he signed all of the cars for us.

At the end of the raffel they had a peddle car painted by one of Chips painters, real red leather upholstry and pin stripped by "Hod Rod", it went to the high bidder at $2,100.00.
In the picture is Chip and his dad Sam Foose, helping to get the bid up.

Great day, Great fun - with our Hosts Howard and Jane.
