Columbus
Day Parade 2016
It was a small but happy contingent from Little Rhody
Model A Club who drove in the Columbus Day Parade in Newport. Al and Sandy Bowder hosted a "coffee
and" at their house on Jamestown.
We met Moe and Janice Rousseau at the Casino Parking lot. Al noticed a problem with his car - found out
it was missing a plug wire, and amazed us all with a correction in his bag of
tricks (see photo). After the "repair",
we were up and running. this year we
were sandwiched between two bands - it was nice to hear music and the beat of
the drums! After the parade, we all went
to TICKETS, a restaurant across from our old favorite the Atlantic Beach Club,
now defunct. Lunch was great, served
promptly and hot, a nice day!
We all noticed last year about this time the beautiful
pumpkin Sheryl Faria carved for Al Silvia.
She graciously accepted the invitation from Moe and Janice Rousseau to
do a demonstration of how she did it this October. Sheryl brought three pumpkins in various
stages of carving along with picture/patterns for whomever wanted them to use
at home. She showed us how to make our
own special pumpkins, step by step using tools available from many area stores
(and her husband's collection from home) The lesson made us feel that we could
be the makers of fascinating pumpkins on our own. Thank you, Sheryl ....!!
