My knee is fine and I'm back in action. Don't forget we need cars for the Saturday Grand Feature Parade. See Jim Tillery for registration. I am also pretty disappointed that no one would step up and handle the Poorman’s tour. If we don't have enough interest in participating, maybe we should tell the Queen City Region it's canceled. The Apple Blossom Car Show is two weeks away! We need to get the cars ready and we need help. Field set up requires many people to get the area laid out. Birthday Wishes!

The intrepid group met at the Triple J 7-11 near Berryville at 1300 to begin the trip. We were led by Art Bragg and Eric Kirk, who together checked out the route and provided extensive, thorough directions for the day’s run. The museum is a three-building complex, with the first being the 19th century family building (how they lived). There were several sample rooms showing how farm life existed then, including a one-room schoolhouse, complete with teacher. There were also several demonstrations going on at the same time, such as a weaving demonstration, and quilting. The group of eight vehicles set out with Art in the lead, and with Eric bringing up the rear to ensure the group’s integrity. We traveled through Summit Point, and on to and A docent from the museum provided some classic church music on the Moller pipe organ in the hall. The Moller organ was built in nearby Hagerstown, and was a great example of the instrument. (See Fun Run on page 6.) 89th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Grand Feature Parade As in year's past, our club will once again participate in the Apple Blossom Grand Feature Parade. The parade is scheduled for Saturday, 30 April at 1:00 p.m. We will be in the preparade, so the cars move fairly quickly through the parade course, (helps to reduce over-heating). Prior to the parade, I will inform all participants of exact location of departure point and time. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the 2016 Apple Blossom experience! This is a great time to showcase our club and our cars to thousands of locals and visitors so lets get those cars out of mothballs and onto the parade field. —Submitted by Jim Tillery (540) 678-1565 // [email protected] VO 2 9 .

Monthly Sunday Fun Runs * May 22: “A Look at the Past”— Meet at 1:00 p.m. Winchester Frederick County Historical Society, 1340 S. Pleasant Valley Road. Directions: Turn off Pleasant Valley Road by the visitors’ center. Enter lower entrance of the Hollingsworth Mill next to Abrams Delight. We will see many interesting items at the Hollingsworth Mill. A time to reminisce of businesses in Frederick County and Winchester. Shenandoah Region member Art Bragg has loaned them 124 items for this exciting display. After Hollingsworth, we’ll go next door to Abrams Delight Museum built in 1754, the oldest House in Winchester. From there we’ll motor downtown to visit George Washington’s Office Museum. This small log cabin located on the corner of Braddock and Cork Streets was his office between September 1755 and December 1756. Experience the “George Washington and the West” exhibit. Once we finish our tour of George Washington’s office you will receive information for our next surprise visit in the Kernstown area. We are expected there between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m. I expect a good turnout of region members and prospective members for this Sunday run and all those I have planned for May through August. Don’t disappoint me! * June 26 – Art Bragg Collection, Brucetown, VA * July (TBA) – Strasburg Nash Garage to see Troxell restored facility and then ice cream at the Stup Farm. * August 28 – Burchill Collection, Jefferson, MD —submitted by Art Bragg PAGE 6 April Fun Run The second building is the farm building (how they made their living). It is chocked full of farm machinery which traced the development of machines, such as a threshing machine, a reaper of the Cyrus McCormick type, plows and other tools that the farmers made use of from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. There was also a static demonstration of hog butchering, milking, butter churning and several other displays of farming. The third building is the transportation building (how they traveled). In this building are antique cars, bikes, trucks, etc. Here are the only two Dagmar automobiles known to exist, the Norwalk Underslung, built in Martinsburg, Eric Kirk’s own Paige, and several other cars and trucks, some of T HE S P LI T R I M V O LU M E 2 9 NO . 5 (From page 4.) which have participated in our Apple Blossom shows in past years. The Thomas collection of memorabilia, such as sleigh bells, Good Humor truck bells, harness bells, along with spark plugs, keys and many more items of automobile interest are prominently displayed. The carriages are from the Estate of the Daughren’s of Washington County. Admiral Daughren was the Navy Admiral for Abraham Lincoln. The carriages were donated to the Museum from the estate of Shenandoah Region member Charles R. “Bud” Smith. Along with the cars in the museum, there was a truck show on the grounds nearby, with numerous over-the-road tractors on display. The trucks shown covered a wide range of marques, such as Diamond T, Peterbilt, Ford and several Macks, having had their birth in Hagerstown. The trucks were as polished as the cars, only much larger! Antique farm tractors were also on display. After spending a couple of hours, the group reassembled and struck out for Bonnie’s Diner at The Red Byrd where they had set up a large table in a back room for all 22 of us, no doubt to keep us away from the real customers!! We had a very fine dutch treat meal, and lots of storytelling, and general good conversation. After the meal, and the conversations, our group departed for home, splitting off into several directions. It completed a delightful day, with ideal, although chilly weather. Again, we owe great thanks to Art and to Eric for planning and organizing this trip. Well done!! And, to use a much used and abused phrase, a good time was had by all!!! In case you missed the “fun run” and would like to visit the museum on your own, the museum is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Weekday hours are available by appointment by calling 240-420-1714.. There is no admission charge, however donations are gratefully accepted.
