There are some changes to the schedule of events of the Car Show this weekend due to the expectation of some severe weather conditions. Below are listed those changes.
Please take note of these changes and pass the information along to those who don’t have email. Time is short and email is about the only way to communicate these changes.
Set up for the field will occur as originally scheduled on Saturday morning July 10th. If you are one of those who helps set up the field with barriers and stakes, please plan to be at Twitchell’s Airport by 8am Saturday.
Set up for the cooking tents and car registration will NOT be done on Saturday, but will be done at 6am on Sunday.
Car Cruise and Chicken BBQ for Saturday Night has been canceled.
Sunday morning breakfast has been canceled.
Food sales on Sunday will begin after tents and equipment have been set up on Sunday morning.
Car Show and trophy awards are a “rain or shine” event and WILL be held on Sunday as originally scheduled.

Wiscasset
Sunday was a beautiful day - a bit warm, but breezy enough. Thank goodness it was not as hot as today - 102 degrees at the house, in the shade.
A long ride for us, but worthwhile - the 1st Annual Wiscasset show was very nicely done. Everyone was classed at the gate, and all appeared to be classed correctly. The crew that hosted the show were very nice and helpful. This was a great little show. But not perfect, as no show is perfect. Here are some issues noted, none of which are bigg issues, or "bad" in any way.
The show was held on July 4th weekend. Anyone with a life was somewhere else, with family, at the beach or having cookouts. Many were in parades in their communities. This resulted in fewer than 100 vehicles attending the show.
The show was advertised as "split balloting", but that did not happen. It would have been very helpful in preventing some serious bloc voting that took place. Maybe next year...
Because of the limited number of vehicles, several classes found themselves lonely, parked out back of Ames Supply. Had it been known that the attendance would be less than 100, they could all have been up front, as there is plenty of room at this location.
More music would have been a big plus - it was a guitarist who did not start until nearly 11, and did not play much.
The award ceremony was as fast and organized as I have seen in a long time. Kudos for that, especially since shady spots in the hot sun were scarce.
Connie Peacock's '67 Stang made its debut. A beautiful car! Love the black & purple color duo. And for those who may not have noticed, the typical MUSTANG lettering on the trunk reads RUSTANG. Cute!
It was a great time, and it was refreshing to see such a well-organized show, particularly for their first time. They did a fine job.
