On behalf of the club I wish to thank them for their hospitality and all the preparation to make the picnic such a success. The day was really nice, the conversation was lively and the food was very tasty. We had our car games and prizes were awarded to the winners. I want to thank everyone in general for making the day so much fun. We had a wonderful turnout of Model A s. On Saturday July 21 st we went to Jamestown for Windmill Day. The day was just picture perfect. John and I commented on what a gorgeous scene driving over the Jamestown Bridge. The windmill was in operation. We had a total of ten Model A s from Little Rhody. What a photo op. The grounds were really nice. There was a Bluegrass group playing so a lot of toe tapping going on. Food was also served as well. Bill Schaal of the Jamestown Historical Society and members of the Board of Directors were very welcoming. We could not have asked for a better day!!
