Saturday and Sunday, 14th and 15th, is the militaria show at the Cessna Activity Center. If any member would like to display their vehicle inside the building please let me know by Wednesday. You would need to get it in Friday afternoon before 2 pm and not get it until Sunday around 4 pm. It would have to fit through the double doors, ie; motorcycle or jeep. If you want to display outside on Saturday, come anytime. That is all!

Veterans Day Parade

November 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Here are some pictures of the Veterans Day parade today. You couldn’t have asked for weather nicer than today. Everyone met at the Cross’ to unload and have coffee and donuts, brought by the Decker’s. We had 14 members present and 8 vehicles plus the bomb grill. Afterwards we displayed our vehicles in the middle of Douglas in front of Century II where they had singing and messages from the Mayor and others. Diane Warren noticed they didn’t have the flags at half staff, so she told an official and they told the mayor. By golly, the flags were changed. Good show!

What a beautiful day for a parade. We had six vehicles and 12 people in the Arkalalah parade in Arkansas City. Our members were Dave Billings, Crosses, Deckers, Joe Rankin, and Jim Lynne. The parade was about 2 to 3 hours long and Linda and Dave Billings, family and friends provided BBQ ribs and brisket, along with drinks and chips. What great hosts. Thanks everyone!

Chisholm Trail Gun Show

September 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

We have talked to the Chairman of the gun show at the coliseum, and he welcomes us to display our vehicles. The show will be October 10th, and 11th. But we are to bring our vehicles in on the 9th. He needs to know how many vehicles will be on display and what size area we will need, because there is a limited space. We told him around 4 to 6 vehicles, but we need to know who wants to bring there’s for sure. It will be secured at night and batteries need to be disconnected.

Here we go again, our club meeting will have to wait until further notice. This display will give us a chance to gain members and advertise, because it is a large show.

The Oxford parade was great. Nine members, four vehicles and no rain! A friend of Joe Rankin graciously provided his garage for our short meeting and also cookies his wife made. The parade started on time with no hitches. Thanks Joe, for being our host.
