Visiting SF/Petaluma soon
I will be visiting my sister in Petaluma for a week around Labor Day (Aug 29th to Sept. 5th). I'd like to attend any Model A-related activities that might be happening in that area around that time. Please let me know what is planned.
I would also like to meet up with any Ford Barners that live in the SF area or north of there, to see their cars and meet face to face if possible. These discussion boards are nice, but it is sure better to be able to put a face to a name. Please reply here or with and e-mail to me: 29A at comcast dot net Thanks!

Re: Visiting SF/Petaluma soon
Jim,
No activites in the Quincy, CA area at that time but should you be in my area you are sure welcome to come by for a visit and I'll show you my A's and we can have a nice visit and kick some tires. Quincy is located 75 miles North-West of Reno,NV, at 3500' elevation. Ron |

Re: Visiting SF/Petaluma soon
I am from that area, born and raised. If you contact the "Sonoma "A's" Club, they may have some events they can recommend for you, if nothing else, they had at one time, many members around the Petaluma area.

Re: Visiting SF/Petaluma soon
The Sonoma A's are a great group of people. Look up Steve Lewis in Sebastopol.

Re: Visiting SF/Petaluma soon
I wish we had a sticky thread that folks could list events early enough for people to make plans to go .
I dont belong to any clubs so I have to depend on you for info . Make it like the swap meet , just the info and no posts that would screw it up. |

Re: Visiting SF/Petaluma soon
I belong to both the Marin and Sonoma Model A clubs. There are no event planned Aug 29 - Sept 5. The Sonoma As have their monthly meeting On Aug 28 in Petaluma. You can see what events are scheduled on their web sites.

Re: Visiting SF/Petaluma soon
Thanks, Bob. I had found the calendar for the Sonoma A's and see that I arrive the day after their meeting. It seems I will miss the Marin club August outing also. Oh, well.
I will try to meet up with a few individuals instead.
