Hough Elementary school supply drop off

 

On a perfect fall Thursday the Slo Poks paraded into Hough Elementary to drop off 23 boxes of school supplies and present the largest check to the Hough Foundation. The supplies and money were collected through the 2026 Uptown Village Show and Shine. 

12 Slo Poks and their hot rods made the presentation. The whole student body came out and toured the cars parked in front of the school. Mike Grimm's Model A gets the award for most tactile experience for the kids. Pretty dang sure they ALL climbed through his car, giving those Fekins upholstered seats a workout! 

Thanks to the Poks who took time out of their day to make this special presentation something for the Hough students and staff something to remember. Thanks to the many Poks who worked to make the show and fundraising possible. Over the years the Poks have donated more than $30K. Last but not least, a special thanks to the show chair, Michael Finn, and committee chairs for leading the charge to make this all possible. 

Alley by Andy

This week's fall Alley was hosted by Andy Vail at his Camas compound. As always, Andy's Alley had great weather and attendance. Andy had Butcher Boys best on the grill with the grill builder and master himself running the burgers and brats. There was also killer beans, potato salad and assorted chips to round out the menu.

Pete had some announcements. The Hough school supply drop off is Thursday. Meet at 1pm and parade down to the school at 1:30. The Hough Foundation put together a nice promotional flyer. Tomorrow is the Dirt Drags out in Woodland, details in the flyer. 

Andy's Alleys tend to draw guests that we don't see a lot. Spotted in the crowd was Russ Paradis, Todd Todeli and Chris Ito.

Gary fired up 219 for the guys. Nothing like a supercharged open header small block in a historic Bonneville car to draw attention!

Thanks Andy for another top tier Alley!

Blasphemy of the highest order! Andy is blaming it on a Slo Pok brother who is no longer with us. . .Doug Nicoli. He claims Doug made a special trip out to Andy's to deliver the signs just to mess the Ford guys. It worked. 

 

The 2026 Uptown Village Show and Shine is coming!
