And they don't do this in Cow Hampshire? I want to know since when. When I moved to the seacoast area in 1978, the town population was a little under 4800. From the town report I see over 12,800 now in the town. Mostly from refuges from Massachusetts - like me.

When I came the main street in town was populated by farms. Now we have shoulder to shoulder car dealerships to service our "bedroom town for Boston" status.

Local growth aside (they call it "progress" but somehow I'm not so sure) I think you're referring to the event the NH Lake Region group have every year, this year to be held in September. https://www.2017nemodelameet.com/

Alas, the lakes are a fer piece away from the seacoast. I drove there once.

And we really don't have a Model A Club in the seacoast area. Our loss methinks.

And they even speak Engli$h there.

Used to be everything headed over the Bourne or Sagamore Bridges to Cape Cod was subject to the "Summer People Overhead charge of 20 percent."

I see NH has a 10 percent similar charge - for everything passing north of Concord.

The local enclave at North Conway gets 35 percent.

Free enterprise - its what you make it.

Not sure, but I think it took place at or near Biddeford, Maine over the weekend. From what I've heard is that they do this several times during the warm season and will be seen driving toward their destination together in groups of several cars. I encountered them during last summer as they gathered for a travel break (group of 7 or 8 A's). Great folks -- very enthusiastic, cordial, social. Affiliated with various Model A clubs, etc.

Still own property in the Monadnock Valley not too far from Keene. We haven't been up there in about two-years. Last time in New Hampshire in North Salem just over the Massholio state line, I honestly could not recognize the area. Even the once narrow two lane twisting roadway through rural empty landscape are now tangent four lane highways. The deserted region with occasional farm house are today packed with mcMansions, junk food joints and strip malls. The Masshole hordes have long since stormed north and ruined at least Southern New Hampshire if not the entire state. State logo now is "Try to Live Free but be Crushed by Mobs of Massholes instead".

Joe. -- Try saying something like, "Hey guys, are any of you interested in meeting me for breakfast near Exeter NH some morning to talk about our Model As? If you brought your A it would be great!"
