FROM THE EDITOR
Next month most of
our winter visitors
will be returning and
we should step up
our activities. The
summer has been
fairly slow for the
newsletter. We are
planning a welcome
back picnic in November, the White
Elephant Parade the
end of October and
the Christmas party
at Tanque Verde
Guest Ranch in December. I hope we
have big crowds for
all of these events.
We need lots of participation to keep
the club and newsletter going.
Don’t forget to mark
your calendars for
January 30-31, 2015
for the 21st Annual
Tubac Car Show. If
you are staying at
the Resort, make
your
reservations
before they fill up. I
mailed out 724 registrations and the
car nuts will receive
theirs in the next
month. We already
have over 100 entries in just one
month.
Cruise to Tumacacori Mission National Historic Park
On a beautiful Tuesday morning a group
of about 30 plus carnuts met at Merle’s to
caravan to the Tumacacori Mission for a
personal guided tour of the mission. Del
Hammond and Rudy Molina organized
this great trip. We took the east frontage
road as far as we could before getting onto I-19 for about a mile and then back on
the frontage road the rest of the way.
After visiting the mission, the orchard and
the museum everyone got back in their cars for the short trip to Wisdoms for Mexican food and marguaritas.

Fall in Arizona!
A sure sign that fall is here is the annual Rex Allen Day’s Cars for Kids Car
Show in Willcox, AZ. Wayne & I like to attend each year in support of Willcox’s chapter of the AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization). It is a
good cause and the organizers are always grateful for our attendance and
provide great hospitality.
The show is held on the first Saturday in October and coincides with the town
of Willcox’s annual Rex Allen Day’s celebration. It is held in Keiller Park just
off I 10. The field is adjacent to the fair and carnival, so there is plenty to see,
do and eat.
This year’s organizer, Sherry Lynn Van Allen, not only organized the event,
but provided the musical entertainment. Her husband, Jessie, and kids were
all hustling around the field helping too.
She did a fine job. They held a
50/50 raffle, a raffle for a carved portrait of John Wayne, and local businesses
provided door prizes for participants. Wayne won a lavender colored tool set,
made by Stanley tools, which he so kindly gave to me. What a guy!
The show was open to all makes and models of cars. There were approximately 30 cars there consisting mostly of folks from Willcox and the surrounding area. We took Wayne’s Mercedes and met club members Joe Pierce and
Karen Rogers there. This was Joe’s 74 Corvette’s first show since he and
Wayne finished the restoration. I’ll be darned if he didn’t win first place. Joe
and Karen had left by trophy time, so Wayne accepted for them.
If you have never attended a Willcox car show, I highly recommend
them. They hold two per year and they both benefit the AYSO. The other
show is Memorial Day weekend and held downtown in front of the Rex Allen
Museum.

Butterfield Days Car Show at The Park
In keeping with my avoidance of the Big Shows, on Sunday the 12th it was an early
roll out, a big breakfast at the Old Vail Steakhouse, and run to Benson for the 1st annual Butterfield Days car show at the park.
After arriving in town, a chase down of the mini-Batmobile on main street, three
yards sales, two old cameras and an S&H green Stamp book taking away my spending money, and a circle as many blocks as possible looking for old tin, we finally arrived at the show.
What a pleasant surprise. There were quite a number of cars, some from distant
places like Tucson, and Safford, and most importantly from Green Valley was Wayne
Potter and his trophy collector Camaro to represent the Car Nuts while relaxing along
the grass and walkway, holding court with the admiring crowd, and sharing memories
with the fans, and the I used to have one folks.
All and all it was a good time, and a nice, well organized first time show. Hopefully
more folks will bring their cars to next year’s event. It was very family friendly. And the
park has some nice picnic areas to enjoy a good basket brunch while the cars show
off.
It’s always a good day when you can be Nuts about cars.
