Update - Kiwanis (Standish)

This from Scott Callghan:

"At the Kiwanis Beach Car Show on September 18 we will possibly have the Bonny Eagle Pep Band in the afternoon, and there will also be the propsnappers float fly in at the beach ( a remote control float plane club). This will at least give an option to some folks for another show (Editor's note: alternative to Old Orchard)"

Over the last few years I have heard so many people complain about how the Old Orchard show is for out-of-staters, and how they do not even understand that Street Rods end with 1948. Well, this is an opportunity to enjoy a different show, relaxing at the beach in Standish.

From Michelle Snowden, Co-Chairperson for Richmond Days 2010 in Richmond, Maine.

"We are having our annual parade on Saturday, July 24th at 10:00 a.m. in Richmond beginning on Main St. and I would like to have some classic cars participate. I was hoping that you could help me contact some vintage car owners. We have a facebook page (Richmond Days 2010) and the Richmond Days brochure is located on our website at www.RichmondDays.com. I would appreciate any help and/or information that you could give me.

My email is Snowden1030@hotmail.com or I may be easily reached via my cell at 207-620-2542. Thank you very much! I hope to see some of your cars in our parade!"

Michelle Snowden

Well, folks, if you are in the area on the 24th and looking for something new, this might do the trick. Otherwise, if Saco is closer to home, you may want to check out this new show on the 24th...
