One could not have asked for a more beautiful day than what the DVC was blessed with in hosting the 6th British Car Day Show at Pennypacker Mills. Low humidity for August and sunshine brought the largest crowd to date with over ninety cars and, according to the county site manager, around a thousand visitors.
The cars were not the only attraction as the site had its annual, “In the Good Old Summertime” consisting of games and music from the turn of the 20th century. Painters of the Norristown Artist Guild allowed one to look over their shoulders as they worked on scenes from various spots of the park.
This would not be possible without the tremendous efforts of the club volunteers, “The Pit Crew” and it was another job well done by them. From the registrations ladies handling the entrants to the dueling emcees, Lee Niner and Bill McCurdie, announcing the awards the show ran smoothly. If anyone would like to lend a hand for next year’s show please send an email to carshow@dvcmg.com. There will be a Crew meeting on 11/6/10 at 11 AM at Leddy’s Pub for the post show praises and gripes and how we can improve.
