Atlantic Nationals

The Atlantic Nationals Show was a success again this year.   We had approximately 94 cars registered for our show on Saturday.  A fair number attended the supper after the show at Jeanne's Restaurant.

T-Shirt Sales were $613.  We paid Impressions  $404.54

Donations of $140 were collected at our Car Show which will be given to the RCMP Fallen Mounties Fund.

The trip to Mike Lipton's cottage for a picnic lunch was great fun.   Eleven cars from our club participated along with 3 cars from the Corvette Club of Nova Scotia.  There was plenty of food and some took in the Boat ride to the island near Mike's cottage.   We traveled home through the Wentworth Valley and had supper at Patterson's in Sackville. 

Twelve cars made the trip to Truro for the Corvette Club of Nova Scotia's Car Show.  We had a great time as we always do at their Show.

The weather was great for our weekend trip to Minister's Island and Grand Manan.  Ten cars made the trip to Minister's Island and eleven cars went to Grand Manan.  Saturday night we were well entertained playing the Left Right Centre Game.    A few hands were played before breaking up 9:30 p.m.   We had great weather for the ferry run on Sunday going over and back.   We enjoyed a BBQ lunch on the Island put on by the Rotary Club.  Thanks to Chanel & Paul for planning the weekend.
