Don’t forget the Car/Truck/Motorcycle Show for Star City Motor Madness is being held downtown tomorrow from 2pm to 9pm. Several city blocks have been set aside for the event. The show will not take place on Market St. this year, so be sure to look for your favorite vendors til 5pm on the City Market should you wish to take a detour.
Adam’s new truck - a 1950 Chevrolet Panel Truck (originally a Canopy Express) - will be in the car show downtown this weekened. It is still a work in progress, unfortunately, as he’s only had it two weeks and there was more body damage than he’d realized. He’s spent a good amount of time digging out bondo and welding in new metal plates where areas had rusted out, and still has more to do, but it can be driven. (That reddish brown you see is primer.) The starter and generator also had to be rebuilt and there was some general engine maintenance that needed to be taken care of. Plus he’s had the rain to contend with. So the truck is nowhere near complete, and Adam will not be able to get it painted with chalkboard paint as he had planned, unfortunately. He’s pretty disappointed because he could have at least gotten a panel painted if it hadn’t rained. My sweetie does tell me, however, that he’ll definitely have it covered in chalkboard paint for next year’s show. Sorry for anyone who may be disappointed. Still, he’ll let your kids climb in his car if they want to see what it’s like to sit in the driver’s seat.
Also, On the Rise is looking for an employee. If you need a daytime job and are responsible and courteous and promise not to hack loogies in the bread dough, then you may want to consider applying for the position. Besides, Steve is a really nice guy so he can’t be horrible to work for. Plus, the smell of baking bread evokes happy thoughts.
