Summertime – when the livin’ is easy – easy to miss that is. Where did summer go? I’ll tell you – it went on all around us as we were busy in so many enjoyable events. Overall, it was a great summer!
Pembroke’s Waterfront Festival was well attended with cars thanks to Graham who made calls across the region. The Blueberry Social went well with many of our vehicles. I wish to thank Claude Fortin and Don Stresman for their help to set up starting at 8:00 am. and close up at the end of the day.
Saturday August 15th at the Lakeside Hotel in Portage du Fort was another fun event. When not attending the vehicles, we held an executive meeting inside where the Pages, Weisenbergs, Broharts and Delores & I tightened up plans for the Apple Cider tour, polished trophies and met new friends.
The Marion Hill show & sing-along on the 19th was well received by so many of the residents. Thanks to Neil & Lori Videto for organizing this. Great weather, music (and popcorn and sodas). Many of the people recognized old cars and old friends. Marilyn’s Studebaker was reintroduced to Mrs. Lebine who had owned the car many years before.
I take this opportunity to say how enjoyable it was to have Ernie and Dianne Murdock arrive in their Austin Mini at the Strawberry Social. When members in the “honourary” category drive the farthest distance to join in, that is worth mentioning! Great to see you!
Looking forward to our fall shows and tours, there is a long list. Briefly, we will be on our cruise night (26th) when many will be handed the September issue. Bob McCauley likes to save on postage whenever possible. Thursday afternoon we will head to Cobden for the 5:30 parade that opens the Cobden Fair. We need as many vehicles as possible.
The Barrie Flea Market weekend is September 10-13. On Saturday the 19th we are invited to display our vehicles and other toys at the Renfrew County Plowing Match on Storyland Road. On Sunday the 20th we will travel to Norway Bay to experience the Commonwealth Cider Mill. Don & Sue Page are organizing a special afternoon with buffet dinner at Pine Lodge later. Dore Bay Pig Roast will be on September 26.
I once again open the well-wishes file. “Sunshine” Cards were sent to Graham Wall, Brian Black and Janice Visneskie and also her partner Leslie Moore. Cards of sympathy were sent to Lila Priebe, on the passing of her mother and to former member Mary Jane Blais on Roger’s passing on August 9th. Jim Rolfe is in Ottawa undergoing elements of his treatment regime and Richard Clayton remains in Toronto. Please know that you’re in our thoughts daily.
Our meeting will be held at Champlain Trail Museum starting at 7:00. Don’t forget to bring interesting items for the auction sale.
