Everywhere we go - there are cars


So I gave in - and we accidentally went to a Show and Shine. This roadster was parked at the ACE hardware store. 




We were there looking for play sand for the bottom of our wood pit. Every place in town is out of the sand. I'm wondering if it had to do with all the flooding we had??? ACE said they should get some more in by Friday. We just need one bag. 

I love garden centers and the way they merchandise the potted plants. Very creative! 




At the Butcher's Shop -

There will be a show and shine at a Care facility, where my friend Margie is at - 

I know they usually have one at the Cal Veterans Home. 




My favorite. 

Just needs a Christmas tree in the truck bed. 





The big show will be all day Saturday - where they will have live music, food -everything a classic car enthusiast would want.







Even Shasta County K-9 drug-sniffing dog, Toni will be there. 






They're downtown 







and they're up-town...

Parked everywhere! 

Friday nite is the "Cruise" and then the all-day events on Saturday. Kinda funny, but they are recommending that spectators use public transportation to the event. 


As long as people keep coming and spending money; and helping out our community and the youth, I will gladly smell all the exhaust - since they are too old to smog so it really does take you back to 1950! 














Char just financed a 2010 PT Classic Cruiser. It is purple - her favorite color. That was quite a feat for her - being disabled and on a very limited income. She does get a lot of help from the state and the county on things like this - to help her independence. 

It's a cute car. 


Warm Regards, 

Debby

  4. Dearest Debby,
    Well, that will be a great event and for a very good cause!
    It is very interesting to see the real old ones in great shape.
    So many people put a lot of love and hours into making their treasures SHINE!
    A fun hobby if you have the space, money + time.
    Loved Toni's picture!
    Hugs,
    Mariette
