I remember starting into this year’s day-timer thinking that there were so many blank pages off into the months of the spring and summer and way out into the fall. Well, thumbing into October’s pages and beyond to enter upcoming appointments, it’s amazing how quickly this year has flown past. Let’s hope that ACCP’s entry in the Oktoberfest Outhouse Race is fast too! Wayne Brohart agrees that we should name it "The Flying Quail".
There’s no doubt that the rest of 2008 will fly right past too. So while we can, let’s enjoy our fall colour events – The Apple Orchard & Pig Roast Tour to Dore Bay Country Club will be history, then it’s Oktoberfest at Ladysmith QC on the 5th and next our Calabogie Colour Tour to Polly’s L'il Shanty for dinner on the 18th. October’s meeting is once again at the Champlain Trail Museum, but in November we will resume our dinner meeting format, maybe checking out Barclay’s new eatery.
It was good to see members enjoying the Renfrew County Plowing Match. Stanley’s Model T fitted right in as he gave rides around the field. Dan Hewitt’s newly acquired McCormick-Deering tractor pulling Don Stresman’s “wide & narrow” stone plow nicely contrasted the politicians’ plowing competition. In addition to McCauley’s Dodge, Videto’s Thames, Mullen’s Buick, Boire’s Oldsmobile, Stresman's Jeep and Lemkay’s Cadillac, former members Jim Shier brought his 1950 Pontiac and Percy Schizkoske advised that he’s restoring an older VW Beetle. Wayne Goldberg introduced Croskery family relatives who are keeping the old hit & miss tractor from Marmora running. The Plowman’s Association was most generous in waiving the entry fee and providing a plaque and a voucher to be applied to an on-site purchase (something I forgot to use). A note of thanks has gone out to Ron Jaremkow, who extended the invitation to ACCP at the last meeting.
At the October meeting, Lorne Troutman will outline plans for the restoration project of the Risto delivery wagon. Already Ralph Lemke has prepared the birch lumber. We will be able to examine the relic inside in the museum workshop area. I must mention that Troutmans have acquired a 1928 Model A Ford Tudor while in New Brunswick this summer. Looking ahead, we resolved at the September meeting that we will revert back to having an ACCP Christmas Shine Banquet – likely tied with the TerMarsch company dinner, once again at Barclay’s.
See you at the meeting. Don’t forget the auction sale items - you know you’ve got some. On that note, there’s a sequel to the Cadillac continental kit sale of last year. (Jeff Videto to report).
