51st Texas Tour sponsored by the Dallas Regional Group #115. Honoring Fords and Greeting Friends. . Registration is now open for the 51st Texas Tour as we honor Fords and greet old (and new) Friends. Come turn back the clock to the simpler days of friendship and community, where we share laughs and discuss bruised knuckles as we gather together. To address the consistently rising costs to host this annual event, this year we will be scaling back the pageantry but maintaining the tradition of kinship, community, and exploring. Friday we’ll have a Ladies Luncheon including a scavenger hunt through the local businesses and decorated wall murals in downtown Terrell. Also available is a visit to a little-known chapter of World War II history for a tour of the first British Flying Training School where thousands of British cadets learned to fly and earn their wings over North Texas between 1941 and 1945. Friday night we’ll have an ice cream social with a fun and challenging Trivia Night. Saturday’s tour will wander through interesting sights around the area and ending at Hatfield Restorations in Canton, TX for our Concourse, lunch, and tour of their facilities. Saturday evening we’ll have our Awards Party and closing events. The headquarters hotel is the Terrell Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott (972-551-3200). Register by January 1st to be eligible for a drawing for one free night stay. The overflow hotels nearby are not blocked and can be contacted directly (Tru by Hilton Terrell at (469) 837-7200 or La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Terrell at (469) 614-2905). .
