[1931 flamingo]

You'll be good on the GW, suggest you stay on 95 into CT and take Rte 8 north and pick up 110.
Paul in CT In NY I don't think you can go on parkways.

[Mitch//pa]

thanks paul

Can cars with no fender come and play?

[Roadster62]

I'll load some parts in my 1982 daily driver, and look at the good stuff with and without fenders. Bob

[Cider Mill]

Any 1931 and earlier cars and trucks are welcome - with or without fenders! Last year we had a 1906 restored Model K here. Often we have a Towncar, I hope to bring a couple chassis to let people fiddle with. I'd love to have some AA and TT trucks. 2 more weeks, so shine em up and get em ready for the road.

[Cider Mill]

Paul in CT

Hopefully the same food vendor will be there. Good prices.

[Mike V. Florida]

We need fordbarn Tee shirts!!!!

[Cider Mill]

Sure, bring that half finished A! I'll have 2 chassis there to let people "tinker" with to see if they can get them running. $10 to the first person to get em running! Maybe a race between the 2? Should be fun.

[Doug in NJ]

I'll be in CT this weekend, so I'll probably stop by (but without my A).

What's up with the financial planning seminar at this show??
Paul

[Cider Mill]

A fellow Model T guy has some of his clients come to check out the cars and he buys them lunch. He is a finacial planner. No solicitation here.

[Roadster62]

Just a slow walk around in my basement and I can see enough swap meet items to fill my trunk. Driving directions may be in order. Bob

[jack99]

All packed and ready to embark at 5:30 AM for the show from eastern Long Island New York. 1931 SW Town Sedan

[Roadster62]

Got the 1982 daily driver packed with some swap meet and "Show & Tell" items. I may have a 45 minute drive if I stop at Dunkin Donuts, I'm impressed with the number of long haul drivers making the run. Bob

WOW! What a great event! Thanks to the Beardsley family for hosting the get together. Don't know what the official car count was but I'd gress over 50 from 1910 -1931, I did count 10 Coupes from 1930-31. Any time you buy more at a flea market than you sell is a good one in my book. Hope you brake the 100 car mark in 2014. Bob

[1931 flamingo]

Fantastic day today! ! ! I missed the town sedan, saw it as it was leaving. Good cheap food and the best people ever. Nice to put faces to FordBarn "handles".
A BIG Thanks to Dan ! ! ! !

[BCCHOPIT]

Had a great time. A big thank you to all the people that worked hard to put on a great show.

[Mitch//pa]

i would like to thank dan and company for their hospitality, and for the superb effort that went into putting on a first class show/meet. we drove 3 hrs each way and it was well worth the trip. it was also great meeting alot of barners and making new friends. i am looking forward to next year already and marked it on my calendar.

[BCCHOPIT]

Nap Time...



The ride home was a pain in the ass with NO accelerator pump

[KGBnut]

Wow! What a great time yesterday. This was my first time at the Cider Mill event, and it will now be on my annual 'don't miss' list. It was great to meet so many like-minded people.

Thanks to Dan and his crew for putting together this event!

[Cider Mill]

Hey! Thank you to everyone who came to the Cider Mill yesterday! What a great day for me and Dad. We had a count of around 68 1931 - 1910 cars. We had some great parts for the swap meet. I spent about $700 and got some great stuff I had been looking for a few years. I had 2 old chassis with a sign that said $10 to the first person to get em running - I'm out $20 bucks because they got em both going. Lots of fun and awesome cars to look at. Can't wait until the 4th Annual Beardsley's Cider Mill Model T&A event.

Dan and Dave Beardsley

[Doug in NJ]

Great show! I was glad that I had the opportunity to stop by.

[JJ31woodA]

The Beardsley Cider Farm show was excellent. The lot was full. I brought my two Woodies there. Many Thanks to Ed Z for bringing my new 1930 Woodie Pickup on his trailer.
