Silver Creek Steam Show 02Aug08

[Stewart Loy]

Ladies and Gents,

The call has come from Doug Ovens to invite all of the HMV folks to come out to the annual Silver Creek Steam Show. Saturday 01August2009.

This event is very low key, and provides a pleasant place to take your stuff for a drive in the woods, and see some old farm stuff and old cars and planes that you otherwise might not. There will be a few local veterans, who really appreciate the rides in the green machines.

Same address as last year, some time after lunch.

See you there!

PS - Ilderton Steam Show is Saturday 11July.

(1) Who here is going?

(2) Is there camping onsite or nearby for those of us from fur aw'y?

[Stewart Loy]

Jif,

I plan to attend, and Perry K. usually gets there with his Carrier also. John Hotson and his 30cwt attend, and Gord Yoe is right around the corner with an iltis (or 27).

I spoke to Mack McEwan and he said he will likley drag his bofors gun out, as he did last Sunday in Goderich.

I forgot to ask Albert if he and Walter will get the FAT out, or the 15cwt that looks so nice with its new canvas tarp.

The last few years they have camped there, but with tow behind campers. Their version of 'primative' and yours may differ ... please call Doug Ovens - he is in the book in Ilderton. Please be advised that he has no answering machine, and farms all day long.

See you there.

Stewart is it just the one day or the whole weekend. Im going to be in Amhersburg that weekend.

p.s. Keep clear of any wooden (actually any kind) of fence posts. They are to remain in the upright position and not under the tracks of a certain **cough** (your) **cough** T-16

[Perry Kitson]

Thanks for the heads up Stewart. Barring any catastrophic events, I'll be there with my carrier. Will touch base with Tommy and see if he will be coming with his KL.

I thought that I would put this in here since you mentioned his name...
When I was in London a couple of weeks ago I met Tommy Allen and had a wonderful visit. He is an extraordinary gentleman with an equally extraordinary vehicle.

If you see him please say hi to him for me and Bill M as well.

... was a bit low on energy. We met up with Tommy 99% of the way to the show at the side of the road with a welding rod and some sandpaper fixing the generator on 1 of the 2 flatheads on his truck. He got it going and headed for his garage for a permanent fix. He likely enjoyed the pleasant weather that day, but missed a nice dinner and dog races!

My wife snapped a picture of the MV gang that was there.

PS - what a nice tarp on Albert's C15a!
