Valley Forge Region Annual Fall Meet

Peddler's Village ~ Lahaska, PA

Sunday, September 24, 2006

The overcast skies and threats of more rain probably did scare away a few possible participants - but for the 82 hearty souls that ventured to Peddler's Village on Sunday, September 24th, it was a great event.  The show field spanned a great portion of the history of Cadillac and LaSalle.  Cars from 1932 thru 2004 took their place, for the judges cautious eyes.  Our CLC brothers and sisters from Long Island ventured to PA, and brought with them 16 fantastic Cadillacs, many taking home ribbons before the day was over.  And the show was supported by Raritan River and Potomac members, too.  Thanks to all who supported the event!

And there would not be a show without the stellar efforts of Chief Judge Jack Hotz and all the volunteers who judged, and provided parking guidance.  Congratulations, team, on another job well-done.

And thanks to the photographers who captured the day for all to see:  Lou Commisso, Herb Fearn, and Pat Caruso.

Sightings on the Show Field...

WHOA! Does that Caddy have TEXAS license plates?

Yessir, pardner, that car belongs to VFR members Mike and Blanca Velasquez who drove up from the Lone Star State.

Special thanks to our Long Island CLC contingent, better known as the Long Island Dreamboats.  Their cars and their camaraderie made the day a lot of fun.  Thanks to  Bob Iengo, Rita Trapani, Kit Bonham, Fred Miceli, Les Wahenburg, Andy Zizolfo, Bob Fuller, Bob Mugnai, John Ledwith, Artie Koestner, Ralph Depalma, Lou Commisso, and Carmen Salice.
