Jesse and Andrea to Retire the Annual FC Roundup

All good things must end and the FC Roundup is no exception. Sadly, Craig announced yesterday that Jesse and Andrea have decided to retire from hosting the Roundup.

The FC Roundup was always a super way (for us) to start the 'jeep' year. It was a great reason to head south for warmer environs. Always generous hosts, they always made us feel welcome, as did everyone who attended. Not only did we always have a great time down there, but we also used it as a springboard to travel east, west, north, and south.

So, to the Ybarra's we say thanks for all your efforts over the years! We wish you the best in the future!

Jesse and Andrea's FC Roundup has been a great event over the years. We have missed it since the pandemic, but also knew it was coming to a close. Jesse and Andrea have been excellent hosts and friends over the many years of the Roundup. We got to meet a lot of great folks, including Dave and Anne Eilers, Craig Brockhaus, as well a chance meeting in 2007 with the folks from "Jp Magazine" who saw our Jeepster there, photographed it and did an article on it in the magazine. Thanks to all the folks who have participated and shown your fantastic FCs at this event! And Thank you to Jesse and Andrea for all your efforts in keeping this community of Jeep fans together!

I was really hoping for just one more (2022). Since the FC Roundup was usually the same weekend as our military vehicle show across town at Falcon Field, I was only able to attend once and really enjoyed the event and the great people there.
