Welcome to summer everyone! It’s another beautiful day in the valley. The weather has been just great lately, which is helping to make up for the very wet spring we’ve had.
The last few weeks have been quite busy with local activities including the recent Expo 150. I was able to attend for almost two days so I took in most of the sites and thoroughly enjoyed it all. I commend all the volunteers that helped during the show. I must say Graham Wall and his team of volunteers put on what has to be the largest car show that Renfrew County has ever seen. There was so much to see and the car show was a big part of the event. I know many of the volunteers who helped Graham were also club members, so to you all I say “Thanks” from all of us who got to enjoy it.
The next month will be very busy with the many upcoming car shows and cruise nights in the area. I hope to attend at least some of them. One of the next events very popular in the area is the Strawberry Social held at the Champlain Trail Museum in Pembroke on June 26. As usual the club members have been invited to bring their vehicles to display for the day. I’ve been told the restored Bickle fire engine will be on display and for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet it is well worth coming out to see. The volunteers who took on that restoration project should be very proud of their accomplishment. The event runs from about 11:30am to 3pm or so.
As always watch your Quail for upcoming events and join us at the monthly meeting, which will be held outdoors at the marina in Pembroke on July 6th at 7pm. To find us take the Albert St. entrance to the marina. Our cars will be parked in the lot to your right just over the tracks and the meeting will be on the grass to your left of the Albert St. entrance. We are unable to park on the grass, as the city will not allow us to do so. Hope to see you there and by the way if it rains we will find shelter somewhere. Don’t forget to bring your own chairs or a good strong knee to sit on.
