1 Volume 6, Issue 7 July 21, , Issue 6 June 16, Martindale July 4th Parade By Steve Hadorn The 4 th ofjuly parade in Martindale was wonderful. It doesn t get any more Americana than 4 th of July Parade, fried chicken picnic and Model Ts. It was great to have all that could come and I would like to ask that all members try next year to make it. This is truly one of the most fun easy to enjoy events that we participate in as a club. The hospitality was wonderful and the Cen Tex Tin Lizzies were much appreciated and definitely made up a great piece of the festivities. I can t encourage you all enough to participate next year if you can. If you want we can all take riders so no excuses to miss. We took two of our granddaughters and they enjoyed the festivities as well. There is nothing like small town America to bring us all back to the America that we all grew up loving. It made for a great day and back home by 3pm. Truly give it a try and be there next year it will exceed your expectations so fun. Thanks to all that did make it. God Bless America!!!!

3 Band Chatter, Page 3 July 21, 2015 Words of Wisdom from the John Show & Tell Winner What a crazy weather year this has been! First the Texas Transportation Museum postponed it s annual Model T Show till fall, then the Father s Day Car Show got rained out. Here s hoping this pattern will end for the T Party in Uvalde. At least we had great weather for the Martindale 4th of July Parade. The year is halfway over, so now we need to start thinking about our fall and winter activities like the T Party. It appears that we will have a good representation from this club. Vic Donnell Who will be the winner in July? See you at the meeting! John
