The Little Rhody raffle basket.
The event was held on a perfect early Fall weekend, and included the usual banquets and raffles.
We also did a tour around Lake Winnipesaukee with a stop at the Castle in the Clouds. There was a surprise of fireworks on Saturday evening during the banquet/dance. The band played 50's hits, and the dance floor was crowded.
Too bad the Little Rhody horse, "Rhody Red" was such a slug in the Friday night speakeasy races. Jocky Pat Howard was so disappointed.
The Howards got over their pain when Charlie won Best of show with his 4 door blindback.
Another big winner for Little Rhody was Angel Caparelli who won the 50/50 raffle to the tune of $1,005.00
Of course, The best Model A's from the New England region were there in large numbers. It's hard to believe that so many cars of the same make and model could survive after 80 years, but there they were.
Little Rhody participants included:
Pat and Charlie Howard
John and Dawn Mennucci
Richard and Joan Mowry
John and Dottie Cece
Angel Caparelli
Dennis and Edward Alsop
Franklyn Barker
Carole and Joe Knight
We all wish to thank the members of the NH Lakes Region Model A Club for their organizational skills which they applied to making the event such a huge success.
