The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association has canceled two of its Get-Together car shows originally scheduled for 2021 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, an announcement that came days after officials confirmed the 2021 Livermore Rodeo would be called off amid the pandemic.
The Goodguys 34th West Coast Nationals and its 31st Autumn Get-Together remain on the schedule for later in the year in Pleasanton, late August and early November, respectively.
Andrew Ebel, chief operating officer at Goodguys, said the early-year cancellations in Pleasanton and other venues were primarily the result of health officials using the association s typical event sites for large-scale COVID-19 vaccination centers.
Born into the Laughlin and Basso/Uliana pioneer families, Ralph lived his entire life in his beloved Livermore.
Many happy moments were spent at Granny Laughlinâs ranch at the end of Croak Road. He especially enjoyed Sheep Shearing Saturday, even when his job was at the bottom of the wool sack! He was loved and appreciated by his many aunts and uncles, and they enriched his life in so many ways. While his mother (Sara Laughlin) worked, he was raised by his loving Gram Uliana. The âoutdoorsâ was the favorite part of all he did; be it hunting game birds, deer, shooting targets and clays, or hiking and riding a Jeep through the Livermore hills on Pine Ridge, the Blackbird, or Rock Creek Ranch.
