Pony Tales Volume 3, Issue 4 Fall 2008 Maggie Valley 08 Inside this issue: Cub Scout Show 2 Breast Cancer Walk 2 New Members 2 Meeting Minutes 3 Next Meeting 3 Fall Pony Roundup 3 Members in Business 4 Tropical storm off the Carolina coast, severe gas shortage, economy falling like a rock. A perfect storm for killing a car show, but what a surprise. We had 164 entries in the 35th annual show. Friday dawned with a gray sky in Atlanta as we grouped up for the cruise to the Dillard House. As usual breakfast was a big event and everyone had their fill. Shortly after leaving the Dillard House, we encountered a miserable light rain all the way to Maggie Valley. We set up in the gazebo outside the Smoky Falls Lodge to stuff goody bags. In less than an hour we had 300 goody bags stuffed and ready to be given out to the show participants. After packing goody bags, Ernie had made arrangements for the group to eat at Snappy s Italian restaurant. The food was good and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. Thanks Ernie!! We all went back to our rooms to wonder what the morning would bring. Saturday dawned with no rain and some clouds. As the day progressed, it was obvious that the rain was going to stay away. We had a lot of door prizes and the best one was a $1000 paint job donated by NAPA-Martin Senior paints. The prize was won by someone who actually needed a paint job. The Jim Osborn Award went to Robert Jake with a 36 Mustang (a 36 ford body on a Fox chassis and power train). The best of show went to Melvin Johnson with his 68 fastback. The show was a success even though it was uphill challenge this year. Thanks to all who were involved in making it happen!!

We col- lected several toys and about $300 in cash. Mustangs Unlimited donated their raffle money and a donation from Temple Performance brought the total to more than $500 for Toys for Tots. Debra took the money to buy toys at Walmart. Thes will be added to the toys donated at the show and then dropped off at Hayes Chevrolet in Baldwin. Thanks Debra!!
