“Our attendance was up from the previous year so we’re estimating we had about 75,000 attendees,” said executive director Sunday Minnich. “We had the best year we’ve had since being downtown as far as beer and wine sales— with record-breaking attendance on both days.” Minnich said the committee usually begins the next year of planning in the weeks following the event, when the committee meets for review. Despite the event’s success, Minnich is on the constant lookout for

enthusiasts have been there with their silver-bullet looking, aircraft-inspired adventure travel trailers.

Airstream owners can be touchy when it comes to their travel trailers. “The durability and reliability of an Airstream is unmatched,” Davis, 55, said. “Since 1931, 70 percent of Airstreams are still on the road. When you look at industries that rely on product turnover, like cars and traditional RVs, they have short lifespans. When you buy an Airstream, it’s a second and

third generation investment, and they have the highest resale value in the industry.” Davis is the President and Chief Executive Officer at AANW Holdings LLC in Clackamas, Oregon. Along with his two silent partners, he owns five Airstream dealerships in Seattle, Boise, Portland and San Francisco, along with a custom Airstream shop that

builds commercial units and a graphic design company which also produces videos. “We wanted to address the South San Francisco, San Jose, Morgan Hill and Gilroy market,” Davis said of his facility at 13635 Sycamore Ave. in San Martin. “We realized that our Fairfield store is about one and a half, to ➝ Airstream, 8
