Winchester (VA) Show this Saturday

[greenie]

This is a great little show and flea market. Celebrating their 50th year in 2008. Seems the rain drops are a constant companion, but it is early May, after all. They used to coordinate a tour of the White Post restoration facility, but that seems to have ended a few years ago.

Looks like it might get rained out this year.

The last time I went there was a Pierce Arrow with an umbrella over the radiator mascot!

A little information would be nice: Name of show? Location? What Time? Website? Entry fee? Etc. You know, enough to tell people about it in case they are interested in going.

Th Shenandoah Region's Apple Blossom Meet is held in the Jim Barnett Park in Winchester. There is a judged car show, car corral, a flea market, and food vendors. The event flyer is online at:

Show car registration opens at 8:00am. Most of the cars that attend the meet are pre-registered by the April deadline. They will let you register the day of the show but all day of show registrations are parked down the hill from the main show field and are not judged or receive a dash plaque. only pre-registered cars are judged.

Its a fun show that we have attended for many years, and yes, rain has occurred an a number of them. When it does rain, the Region makes an effort to keep the mud down. Most of the show field is on high ground, so most any mud is on the entrance path. The show field always has lots of interesting vehicles on it.

They still do the tour on Friday and the early bird party on Friday night for pre-registered attendees. This year, it appears the tour is going to a private car museum in Martinsburg Va.

Thanks to both of you. Now I have to decide which of two shows to go to on Saturday.

Do you mean Martinsburg, West Virginia?

[greenie]

I guess there's a message there for the Region- other AACA members in the same State don't know about their show. Maybe the DF needs a page for AACA events- other than the major shows on the calendar listing. At any rate, it's a nice show put on by nice people. And they give out nice dash plaques:

Leonard,

Yes... I meant to say Martinsburg WV

Thats what happens when you try to make your fingers type faster than their capability... sorry.

[Guest Leonard Shepherd]

Did anyone get any pictures?

It was a good show this year, though the car show numbers were down somewhat (no doubt due to the high price of gasoline and the threat of rain). The day started out overcast but by afternoon the sun was peeking through.
