Win's 89th Socially Distance Birthday

The brave bunch (should I say posse?) of High Plains Modelers participated in the 89th birthday of one of our own, Win, via a socially distant car parade.

There were about 30 cars, and probably half a dozen of them were from the High Plains Modelers group.

Below are some pictures of the event.
