A Porsche gathering in Arkansas. For us, we have the privilege of having a great Porsche event in our own neck of the woods. Thanks to our regional PCA members and the Zechiedrich for hosting the event. This year marks the 12th annual gathering. Great people, wonderful cars and some awesome Arkansas roads.
