The Tire Kicker *** October 2014 *** Page 1 Volume 41, No. 9 October 2014 THOUGHTS FROM THE PRESIDENT OF OAK SPOKES — GERALD BLACKWELL September started off with a GREAT turnout for our tour and picnic. We had about 22 cars and 45+ people attend. We started out from Sutherlands parking lot and drove to Hinkleville to view Bill & Jan Hinkle’s antique collection. They have about every thing you can think of. Bill has downsized a lot, but there is still a lot to see. Bill gave a great talk about his pool table and trains. He then turned us loose to wander around Hinkleville as we wanted. Thanks Bill & Jan for letting us share your collection. We then drove to my house to see my small collection of car stuff. We lost a few members along the way due to being lost and car problems. Bryan Clark played the part of rescue man. Thanks Bryan! We then drove to my “SHED HOUSE” to view my display of STUFF. LOTS smaller than Bill’s. We then drove to the Clarks’ home for hamburgers, hotdogs, and wonderful side dishes and desserts. What a great way to spend Labor Day. A great big thank you to the Clarks for hosting this picnic. Congratulations to Dale Sargent on winning a People’s Choice award at the Wild West Ford Club’s car show at the Bunkhouse Bar, and to Dr. Babson for winning an award at the Children’s Miracle Network car show. Our October meeting will be held at the Bunkhouse Bar on October 1st. We will meet at Little America at 5:30 pm and plan to leave about 6:00 pm and drive to the Bunkhouse for our dinner and meeting. Order off the menu. We invite our fellow car friends from Laramie to please join us and they can have their meeting along with us. Ann requests that if any of you have any TABS, please bring them to this meeting. Hope to see you at this meeting and remember to DRIVE SAFE. . . . . . .
