Stewart Loy and I intend to be there, If a third carrier is / can be available, I'd like to attempt to rehearse the Carrier Pl " preliminary drills " as we did at Westfield during the last year. Surprising good fun, and it's amazing how much sense it makes when you actually do it.

How would one get a copy of a document written in the 1950s that is held by the Upper Canada Museum archives?

I am sure it was, and so VERY helpful, I kinda thought if someone on this forum was a "Friend of Upper Canada Village"..perhaps they would have the inside track on getting me a copy of the document ( I would pay of course) as they, as a rule do not provide this service unless you go there..and I am a tad far away.

But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Dean

For all those that want to attend the event and participate or show your vehicles you are most welcome. Go to the Friend's of Crysler Farm site and fill in the application, it's free and you will be covered by the insurance.
There is ample parking and camping sites, both modern and period era camping. There will be a Mobile Kitchen trailer to serve breakfast and lunch(your cost), a free supper for all registered participants and a lot of fun.
In the evening after the site is closed to the general public, you can have a open fire, and alcohol. The time line show is going to be really good and there maybe a few big surprises during the show.
I think this is a really good show and a perfect place to show off all our toys. I visited the site on the initial recce and it is beautiful. See you there!!!! Gilles

Thanks Gilles,
Was nice to meet you and your wife.
Thanks for the meals. I know how much effort goes in to that setup!
