May 2014 Traveling in the Past and Present Tallahassee Region Antique Automobile Club of America Madison Down Home Days Car Show Submitted by Craig McCollum Only 27 vehicles registered for the Madison Down Home Days car show on April 19th, 2014, likely due to the rain and cool weather. Pictures prove that at least some of our TRAACA members are a hardy bunch. The rain let up for the parade and show but no sun. Most members drove in the parade. Two members each won a $50 cash prize. Can't give their names due to a non-discloser agreement. Every entry won a prize. I saw our members with umbrellas, model trucks, oil change certificate, tools, etc. I plan to donate my prize to the 7th Annual Wally Bentley Memorial Watermelon Festival car show. Photos follow.

Last year, Wal-Mart sponsored a car show at the store with proceeds going to a charity. The show was not very well presented and they were here to ask for our assistance about how to put on a show and when would be a good date for this year. We determined that May 17 th would be suitable for us and them. Norm had earlier set a short meeting after this meeting for the Monticello Watermelon Festival committee and invited them to join in. We have made no commitment to do any more than just to participate on an individual basis. Their charity this year will be the Children s Miracle Network at Shands Hospital. 3.

Page 4 Tallahassee Chassee May 2014 From your Reporters in the field: Ramblings and Roving's of Junkyard Dog & Fluffy - with Stray Dogs This guy had "stuff" in his dad's garage By Jack Hanbury When the dogs get that call or hear of a place we need to see, that's when we "Gotta go!" The "stuff" this time was south of Tallahassee. Remember what "stuff" is? This guy had his "stuff" in his dad's garage. There were Chevy motors, doors, fenders, tail gates and many more parts. In his main shop we found a 1965 Chevy pick-up. It was in the process of being put back together. Probably using some of the parts mentioned before. There were many working tools, jacks and an old machine for checking old electrical things. I think it was called a diagnostic machine. It had not been used for many years. Anyway, always remember, wherever you go, there you are! Keep on sniffing. The Dogs; now and always. Junkyard Dog and Fluffy Western Auto test unit 1984 350 engine - was running Anyone interested: Please call Bill (a Stray dog) at 850-539-4549. Photos are continued on the next page (P. 5)
