Richmond Days & Saco
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...

Wiscasset
Sunday was a beautiful day - a bit warm, but breezy enough. Thank goodness it was not as hot as today - 102 degrees at the house, in the shade.
A long ride for us, but worthwhile - the 1st Annual Wiscasset show was very nicely done. Everyone was classed at the gate, and all appeared to be classed correctly. The crew that hosted the show were very nice and helpful. This was a great little show. But not perfect, as no show is perfect. Here are some issues noted, none of which are bigg issues, or "bad" in any way.
The show was held on July 4th weekend. Anyone with a life was somewhere else, with family, at the beach or having cookouts. Many were in parades in their communities. This resulted in fewer than 100 vehicles attending the show.
The show was advertised as "split balloting", but that did not happen. It would have been very helpful in preventing some serious bloc voting that took place. Maybe next year...
Because of the limited number of vehicles, several classes found themselves lonely, parked out back of Ames Supply. Had it been known that the attendance would be less than 100, they could all have been up front, as there is plenty of room at this location.
More music would have been a big plus - it was a guitarist who did not start until nearly 11, and did not play much.
The award ceremony was as fast and organized as I have seen in a long time. Kudos for that, especially since shady spots in the hot sun were scarce.
Connie Peacock's '67 Stang made its debut. A beautiful car! Love the black & purple color duo. And for those who may not have noticed, the typical MUSTANG lettering on the trunk reads RUSTANG. Cute!
It was a great time, and it was refreshing to see such a well-organized show, particularly for their first time. They did a fine job.

T's
I was going through a buncha boxes in the spare room and found a box of brand new HOTKARZ T-shirts. I had thought they were all gone, but I guess we missed these.
We will be bringing them with us to Wiscassett next weekend. If you would like one (limited quantities left of each size), you can pick 'em up for just $5 each. They are quality, heavy duty "BEEFY" T's by Hanes. So this is a real bargain for shirts.
We will not be ordering any more - when these are gone, that will be it. So get yours this weekend, if only as a collector item.
If you can't make it to Wiscassett, but still want a shirt, just email me at ptwoodycrew@aol.com and tell me how many of which size(s) and I will hold them out for you, while supplies last. First come, first served.

Harrison
Gotta say, we had a great time at the Harrison show, and they did a phenomenal job of getting everyone parked in such a small area. The weather held, and we spent time with many old friends.
The Peacocks were unable to bring their famed Satellite, but that did not seem to matter - they still took "Best of Show" with Ol' Blue.
I must say I was puzzled and disappointed in the vehicles they placed into Special Interest - it appears they do not know the definition of the class. There were two antiques, a foreign car, a fairly stock trike and a normal daily driver vehicle. The only vehicle that was Special Interest that won (2nd Place) was the fire truck. The foreign car (there was a foreign class) took 3rd, and the trike took 1st. Neither is Special Interest no matter how one might want to stretch the definition.
Maybe someday the show organizers will take the time to actually learn class definitions and adhere to them. I recall a lot of Street Rodders complaining at Old Orchard last year about a 1950 vehicle in their class, which is just wrong, since the definition by NSRA AND the state of Maine has a cut-off date of 1948. When something is wrong, it is wrong. No two ways about it.
All that said, the Harrison show was, by and large, an excellent show. I suspect they will soon outgrow that small area at Crystal Lake Park. They had 180 cars, and they were packed. Next year they may very well draw more vehicles, so I hope they consider a larger venue or find a way to make more area available at the park.
Next week we are looking forward to the first Wiscasset show. Hope to see y'all there!
