Hoyt Car Show Saturday, June 3rd

Some folks might be interested in going to the 23^rd Annual Hoyt Car Show on Saturday, June 3^rd, 6673 Route 101 in Hoyt.  It runs from 10:00am to 3:00pm.  It’s a small show but they usually have some interesting vehicles there.  Chime in on the FABAC site if interested and perhaps we can get together to make a small tour of it.

Report on May Meeting

(Argh!....looks like I tried writing verses printing last night during the meeting.  I'm not sure I can read this mess but I'll give it a go.)

   Ahem (Rob clears his throat...)...

   Gary started the meeting by greeting the few folks who showed up (it was a small table) and thanked the ever lovely Johanna for arranging the dinner venue.

• The most recent Tuesday breakfast was attended by not one, not two, but three ladies—at once!   They were  impressed with our deportment and mentioned that they would urge the other lady FABACians to drop by.  Ladies get treated to a free breakfast.
• Two events are upcoming in June, the road trip to Quebec for the British car show there, and the Gagetown craft fair. June 25
• There was talk of a 'solar panel tour'.  It seems that three folks may be planning a tour. Stay tuned for this one.
• The next meeting will see a resumption of the summer picnics we've so enjoyed the last few years. It will be at the Centennial Park at Mactaquac on June 21st. at (around) 5:30 PM.

Miniature Motors

There was some discussion about working miniature motors at our Tuesday morning get togethers.  Here’s some info that I’ve had bookmarked for some time.  Got to admire the skill and ingenuity of these people.

Fredericton Car Show

 There might be a few FABAC folks interested in having a look at he Frexrod Car Show starting this Friday.  Might even be an LBC in the mix; but likely not!   I think this is the first show since 2019.
