New England Meet, Hyannis Mass. 2013

The 2013 New England Meet was held at the Cape Cod Resort and Conference Center from the 27th to the 29th of September.
The grounds were beautiful, as was the attached golf course and the food was judged excellent by just about everyone. The weather couldn't have been better, and the Cape Cod scenery was at it's Fall finest.
The tour to the Heritage Museum and Gardens was very interesting to all of us gear heads, as there was a collection of Detroit concept cars from the 50's through the 80's
Little Rhody did well in the judging, taking 3 trophies.  Ken Trudel took a 1st in 28-29 closed cars, the Volatiles took a first in 30-31 open, and Charlie Howard won third place in 30-31 close cars.

Little Rhody Picnic, 2013

The 2013 picnic was on a HOT...HOT July 14th!  In spite of that, we had a good turnout, and our usual fun day.  We started with chowdah and clamcakes, then on to our July meeting.  The car games included the premier of a new twist on the blindfold race...alas,not a keeper.  We went back to the "old style", with the usual fun and entertainment for the peanut gallery.  We have to give Richard Mowry an A for effort though, he always comes up with new ways to challenge our Model A driving skills.  After the games, we had our main meal supplied by the staff at Yawgoog Bakes, chicken or steak to order, sweet corn, potatoes, and a green salad followed by watermelon and a piece of birthday cake supplied by John and Dottie Cece for the July birthday celebrants.
