National Meet Tentative Schedule
Monday July 4th
I arrived on Saturday afternoon the 2nd and
more than a dozen members were already camping and driving
their Crosleys around. One member got in on Thursday.
Early Bird Dinner sponsored by the Heartland Region had
around 40 people in attendance and was a good official
start to the week.
Tuesday July 5th
Lots of informal gatherings and talk about what we
had been doing for the last year and general Crosley talk.
Some lasting into the night.
Downtown Wauseon local cruise was attended by a
number of members forming their on sub cruise class.
Wednesday July 6th
Breakfast With Friends is only about three miles
away, had a good turn out.
Trip to the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners,
Michigan. The bus had a non working AC so several members
were recruited to drive, but those that reported back said
they had fun but needed more time to commune with the
cars. Gilmore now sells a 2 day pass and several plan to
go back in the future to use that pass.
Crafts with Debbie at the Jr. Fair building was
great as always.
FARMO Bingo with Debbie in the Jr. Fair building
for those that needed some time in air conditioning and
get their Bingo fix.
Thursday July 7th
Flea Market officially opened with a few
vendors all though unofficially the flea market has been
open all week with some early buying and selling. Good
showing of cars for sale from very roughed to nice
drivers.
Silent Auction – wasn't as big as last year record
and no car this year but it still filled almost half the
big main room of the Arts and Graft building.
Ohio Region Trading Post - You have to keep
checking in as new items came in all the time. I had an
item that I didn't get submitted till Friday morning and
it was already sold by early afternoon. I quickly
reinvested the money in more Crosley parts in the flea
market.
Ladies Breakfast with Debbie had a large
turn out. I think it is like a fight club, what happens in
Lades Breakfast stays in Ladies Breakfast. They all seemed
to enjoy it.
Board of Directors Meeting - We meet on the
other end of a large room from the Ladies and they do
share their left overs with us. A full report will be
published in the Quarterly but a few highlights, we will
be working with the AACA Library to get all the clubs
literature and collections of photos and such scanned and
made available to our membership in digital form through
AACA. We picked the latest Youth Mechanic who was given a
rough Hotshot to start rebuilding with his mentor. The
directors selected a slate of candidates for several open
positions from nominations made before our meeting, to be
supplemented by nominations from the floor at the annual
meeting on Saturday.
Fulton Manor Nursing Facility Cruise - We
had about 2 dozen cars participating covering most all
models from prewar to Crofton to street rods. A nice group
of residence came out to look and a few asked questions as
each person that drove a car told a little about the car
and themselves.
Crosley Technical Talk Time - a mix up of
locations and planning and this didn't happen, maybe next
year.
Keystone Region Road Rally – 41 cars
started out, most made it. Tiny's was a great end point as
always.
Fireside chat in the camping area – Big
circle, was pretty warm to have gotten to close anyway,
lots of stories and a few off colored jokes were heard.
Friday July 8th
Flea Market - a few more vendors showed up.
Crosley Kids Craft time with Debbie – well
attended
Crosley pinewood Derby - a kid and crowd
favorite
Crosley Automobile Games - to reduce the
time spent with the number of participants it was decided
to just do two games this year the popular ring around the
dip-stick (we had several volunteers) and going to the
dance. Another event that draws a lot of people.
Annual Banquet – Another good meal,
Crosley Drive-in Theater - Was a Herbie
movie, location was moved so the audience could have
shelter if it decided to rain again.
Saturday July 9th
Flea Market reached it's peak. Because of gas
prices Service Motors couldn't bring parts and Yankee had
a reduced inventory because of truck problems and using a
smaller vehicle but Dave Edwards came with a full load and
filled a bunch of orders and we picked up a few more one
day vendors, I know I found most everything I needed for
my Winter project.
Ohio Region Trading Post - sold out most of the
items they had out.
Show field open, each owner was
photographed and directed to the proper class on the show
field. I didn't hear an exact count but it was in the high
90s and add in those that brought cars to drive around
earlier in the week and couldn't stay for Saturday, and
those that were for sale we had well over 100 Crosleys on
the grounds for the the week.
Crosley Kids Treasure Hunt - a kids
favorite where they have to find people in the club on the
grounds and ask a question. It is a time and number of
found competition.
Silent Auction winners announced -
what a mob waiting to pick up their treasures
Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony – Full
report will be in the Quarterly. Big year, we have a new
president as our long time president Dave Anspach chose
not to run. Andy Drake is our new president. We elected a
new director of regions and 2 new regular directors.
Awards were handed out.
Memorial Picnic a final fine meal. A time for us to
remember those that have come and gone before us and say
our goodbys for another year.
