Hi Ford Lovers
Well our car show is here! That’s why the newsletter is earlier this month. That’s right our All Ford Car Show is this weekend. So time to get together with other Ford lovers and swap stories and ideas. In past years there have been few entries in some classes especially the older classes of Fords and we get so few Cougars and no Capri’s. Usually there are few T-Birds and Lincolns. And Ford powered hot rods… don’t get me started! So if you have or know of someone with one of these, make sure you bring them or tell your friend to bring it. We will need help parking cars, setup and tear down, and concessions. More important if you can help judge in the afternoon it would really be appreciated. If you can’t make it to the show, when you stop by Luther Family Ford, tell them you appreciate the support for the club and the show. As of now the weather looks good, but we will have to wait and see.

The front cover shows what the dash plaques look like and some of the trophies. I thought that might encourage some people.

Valley Vintage Car Show is the weekend after ours. Always a big show.

Our mid month will be a trip up to Mayville for the Cruise to the Island. Kind of a show and shine no trophies, no entry fee, just show up and look at cars and talk to people…a relaxing time. See you there. It should be a good time to make contact with some members from up north other than at the chance meeting away from car shows. That will be the 9th, the day after our car show. The meeting will be Tuesday the 11th! So everything happens at once.

At the last meeting it was decided that we will give some of the money we take in from concessions to a charity. All of the proceeds from the Peoples Choice will go to Make-a Wish.

Well we will see you at Luther on the 8th for the Car show.
See you at the meeting at Luther Family Ford on Sept 11th at 6:30.
