Late October can be a risky season for outdoor entertaining in the Midwest, but the weather this year could not have been better for the annual picnic at Bill and Jane Van Nortwick's home.  Sixteen 356s made it onto the lawn, along with a sprinking of lesser Porsches including an impressive GT3.

It was a great day to get the 356 out for a late Fall drive.

It was a great day for a picnic as well, and the food did not disappoint.

Either the sun is in everybody's eyes, or the photographer should consider a quiet retreat.
