The November Meeting 2017

The season is ebbing as we come closer to the very end of the Model A Year for most of us.  As has been usual in the last several years, folks brought food gifts for the food bank connected to the Mowry’s church.  After the business was done, our favorite Auctioneer, Sparky, did the honors for a lively brown bag auction.  The economy must be a bit better this year because items were selling to very determined bidders with a lot of energy!  Near the end of the auction, the pace picked up because (we think) the Patriots game was scheduled to start at about 8:30…hmmmm.  Our next and last big event for the year is the Christmas Party on December 2^nd at Richard’s Pub. 

It's Sparky! Our favorite auctioneer!

November 5, 2017 The Annual Chicken Run

There were 26 people able to make it to Wright’s Farm to what is affectionately referred to as the “Chicken Run”.  Folks from the south and west, including our friends the Barnes from North Stonington, Connecticut met at the West Greenwich Town Hall early on that Sunday.  That group traveled convoy-style to the Dunkin Donuts in Scituate, made a quick stop, and proceeded north on route 102 to the restaurant.  As usual, there were several other Model A Clubs there displaying their cars and enjoying the day. Other club members joined up at the farm for the usual family style chicken dinner at about 12:30 pm.  A trip to the gift shop is always a treat for the gals, and the guys went about their usual tours of the cars again and discussed Model A business.  Though cloudy, and cool we were thankful for the day remaining rain and wind free!
