Memorial Day Doings

After looking at the Calendar at the Road Scholars Site, it appears that there aren't any shows of interest in Maine. Looking closer shows there is little to do in Maine.

However there Are Shows out of State, in New Hampshire there is the 19th Annual Rotary Show in Londonderry and the Nostalgia Drags and Car Show at New England Dragway in Epping. Be careful of the Londonderry show as it thinks a little highly of itself with the $15.00 day of show entry fee. The Dragway thing is hosted by Down East Street Rods and usually has a big turnout of Street Rods in the show area.

In our own State there are things to do but you need to look at things a little closer. Livermore Falls is having a history Night and Cruise In on Friday from 4pm to 8pm. I don't know much about it, but with enough people that go enmasse we could possibly own the town. Not much of a bargain even at the free price, but it could be more fun had on the cheap.

Something we did overlook was the beginning of the season of events at Owl's Head Transportation Museum, they do a weekly event from now until whenever. This museum allows any pre-1990 vehicle in for free to display on the Runway, free admission to the museum and a chance to view the great antique airplanes and motor vehicles they have on display. Unlike most museums they have been known to take the planes out for a fly now and then.

This weekend is a Memorial Day to all. Get out the old car or truck and participate. We can all smile about that, can't we.
