The 4th Annual Boyd BQ couldn’t of had a better day weatherwise. The sun was out all day and the temp stayed at right around 80 for most of the event. Lots of family and friends showed up to remember my father, Boyd Coddington. The turnout was bigger this year with a couple cool surprises. My brother Gregg kicked off the party by sliding in his little roadster sideways down Orange Ave as he pulled into the driveway. Walt Baynes showed up with his Boyd built roadster. My dad built the roadster back in 1988 and the front end resembles the original Boydster and is actually it’s predecessor. Walt has kept the thing in perfect condition and he still takes it out and puts some miles on it. We decided to have a little live music this year so a Coddington family favorite, Brother Yusef, laid down the blues all afternoon. Tacos were served up and the beer supplied by Boyd Brewing flowed until it was gone. Its always a great time to catch up with old friends and family and have a good time in memory of someone special.
