One of the most common questions I get about my car is, "You don't drive it in the rain, do you?" My answer is always, "Why not? It rained in 1930."

I just got up. It is gray out, and it looks like it rained some over night. The latest forecast from the official Weather Guessers is for some spotty showers until about 8:00. After that, should be better until early afternoon.

It is a little over an hour drive for me, but my daughter and I are going. Hope to see you all there.

Ken

Going modern, but going. Long way for an essentially topless car. The remains of the top on the roadster wont cut it!! ��

Looking for speedster goodies, rebuilt shocks for the A, and interesting trinkets from the A and T era. ��

Considering the weather, there was a pretty good turnout at the Beardsley Cider Mill today. My wife and I arrived at 9:00 and the rain held out till about 10:30 or so. A decent number of Model A's and T's made the trip. We're certainly glad we decided to attend, since we always meet such great people.

Again, many thanks to Dan Beardsley and family for their time, generosity and considerable effort.

I was there about 10:00 and again thanks to Dan & Lenny and family. The donuts and scones were great. I was in the store and I took a quick vote with friends about Dan having a Saturday morning get together all the time. Whatta think? just joking Dan

Happy I finally made it down, very hilly but nice drive. Got there about 10:30. Decent turnout given the weather and great scones.

Thanks Dan and family!

We were glad to attend and thank Dan and his family for their hospitality. Met a couple of folks which was one of the main reasons to go. Stayed about an hour.

Bob, stopped by your car-booth a couple times, but only saw you ambling back as we were leaving when rains came. Not a huge gathering, but its been so long i could not pick you out in the crowd. Sorry to miss you.

Next year we would love to do the run from Avon in the 30 roadster.

I always have a great time! Thanks to the Beardsley family for housing this event. Found a set of needed body blocks for the Fordor project, and the two items I sold covered the deal. Sorry I missed you Steve, maybe next year or at another local meet later this summer. Bob

Have been sick the past week, woke up late, raining here, and blocked in for hours because of the "Race in the Park" for cancer research. Sounds like many did attend.Sorry I missed it (again), I'd been greatly looking forward to it.
Hats off to Dan and his helpers.
Paul

Dan & Family,

I can't thank you enough for hosting this event. Yes, the rain was a disappointment, but with the smaller crowd I got a chance to chat with some folks that I hadn't before. Learn a lot about the Model A Town Car, and also about disk brake upgrades for a Model T.

It was a great time...just a little damp. Already looking forward to next year.

Ken

As the others have said this is a special event. Dan and family go out of their way to be very special hosts. Can you imagine anywhere else where the hosts would offer coffee, cider donuts, scones, etc. free to make the event enjoyable and special. I'll be there again next year even if it snows. Jack

I did not make the trip from Eastern Long Island because of the weather forecast. Mostly wet here most of the day. I am sure it was a great show. Thanks to Dan and family for hosting what I am sure was a great event. See you next year!
