New Kingston, PA
It’s summertime, let the games begin! Old car games, to be specific, at our summer picnic held at New Kingston Fire House. Before and after our lunch of hot dogs with all the fixings, along with delicious sides and desserts, 14 antique cars dared to compete. The course was set up so that our spectators could watch while under the shade of the pavilion. They groaned, laughed, clapped and cheered on the participants. Hula hoops over cones, squishy balls in baskets, and, last but not least, forking potatoes, all for points! It was so much fun, we had a request from a couple in a modern truck to run the course.
It was harder than it looked, and those who had running boards and/or convertible tops had the edge. When the dust settled, the winners were:
- 1st place- Al Maybee driver, Bill Sangrey passenger/player
- 2nd place- Leroy Myers driver, Rob Myers passenger/player
- 3rd place- Bill Sangrey driver, Al Maybee passenger/player
Thanks to all our helpers, which includes nearly everyone, who made all the fun and work run so smoothly. You make our job look easy!
