We have heard nothing on the Hancock County museum event involving the 1913 Adams truck. We will consider it a dead issue unless someone hears something about it. At this late stage it would be hard to get any participation.
Bob H. mentioned that there will be a tractor show at the Hancock County Fairgrounds in the coming week. He was under the impression that the dominant name would be "John Deer". The only interest seemed to be in the possibility that there may be a swap meet along with it that will bring some motor scooters.
Ted Schumaker of the Pandora Chamber of Commerce sent out an e-mail to some of the members with the information on the static car display for the August 13th weekend heritage day. All of the previously mentioned freebies were absent from the e-mail; never the less, everyone was encouraged to attend. This is a chance for the club to fulfill its mission in bringing the Model T to the public.
Jim and Jack both received invitations to the Annual Findlay Balloon Festival. They wanted an entry fee of $10 to show our cars. Needless to say, we both threw the invitation away.
Melvin stood up during the meeting to announce that a fellow had contacted him by phone and e-mail requesting information about joining the club. He is from Louisianna and said that he'd like to join the club because we have one of the best club websites on the internet.
Upcoming events include:
The Old Car Festival at Greenfield Village in Dearborn the weekend after Labor Day.
A possible Island Tour to be arranged by Bob Torbet sometime in September or October.
Hershey annual swap meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania - October 5 - 8.
The meeting was followed by the usual refreshment and liars talk. We had a great time tightening up a 1916 wheel that was loosening up on the rim. A big thanks to those that got their hands dirty. We all learned something. Plus, someone picked up my camera and got some good shots for a wheel tightening article.
