Barns, Buggies and BBGuns by Scott McLaughlin

Remember the stories that I put in the newsletter earlier this year by our own member Scott McLaughlin?! Well, Scott has compiled all of his little stories from his life's adventures into a book called Barns, Buggies and BBGuns. Alot of the stories are about his love of the model A.
This book will hopefully be ready after the first of the year and he is offering anyone in the club who would like to purchase one $4 off of the cover price for $15. And he will autograph it for you at a model A meeting.
I personally can not wait to our copy!
Just contact Scott or Brigid McLaughlin at

Parade Reminders!

This Saturday Evening
Downtown Tavares Parade

Lineup between 4:30 and 5:45 with parade starting at 6:pm sharp.
Lineup position #44 thru #58 on West Main Street, please enter only from Hwy 19.
All cars should be lighted with battery operated Christmas lights and decorated with holiday decorations (no Santa’s) You may throw candy from your windows if you feel inclined to do so.

***Note*** Mt.Dora has rescheduled their parade for December 8th, unfortunately this is during our banquet. I scheduled our banquet on the second Saturday because we were told their parade would be on the first Saturday – guess we can’t get them all right huh?


Tuesday, December 4th – A Christmas Event/Parade at Lakeview Terrace in Altoona.
(Per Van) We had several attend this event last year and they our now inviting us back this year. We plan to arrive at 11:00 AM and they furnish us Lunch and we drive thru their little village starting at 1:00 PM. When the Parade is over they will have some very good entertainment and we are invited to stay for this or we can leave about 2:00 PM. Van would like to know how many cars would like to attend ASAP, call for reservation and/or more information.
