The 2009 picnic was held on July 19, at Francis Farm in Rehoboth Mass. The weather couldn't have been better, and the turnout included 38 people. Francis Farm supplied a great location for the car games, as well as their usual excelent chowder and clamcakes. After the car games, we had a great chicken barbeque. We finished up the day with the awarding of the prizes for the car games. Everyone was a winner.

St Patty's Day Parade

Hi,

Dottie and Susan.

A good turnout!

The Dustoff Tour for 2009 took us through North Western RI, touching Mass along the way. The weather cooperated, after expectations of a possibly wet day. We started in Scituate, and proceeded through such rural areas as Burrillville and Pascoag endingat Wrights Farm in Harrisville. The run was about 45 miles, and most of the Model A's T's and whatever else ran well with the exception of Jeff Larsson's flat tire and a blown head gasket in John and Dawn Mennucci's 1930 Tudor. Our monthly meeting was conducted in the Wright's Farm parking lot after the meal, and the concensus of opinion was that the ride was a "Keeper".

Attendees of the ride were:

John and Dawn Mennucci
Ken Trudel
Jeff Larsson

Little Rhody Pot Luck Supper

The March 8 2009 meeting of the Little Rhody Chapter of the Model "A" Ford Club of America highlighted the culinary skills of club members. Along with the great food, we also had a display of unique items belonging to club members. The attached photos tell the story better than my words can, so take a look and enjoy.
