Stanley Fair Report from Rob E.

     We lucked out today with our choice of meeting spots. The Daigles had come up from Saint John to escape the clean air and blue skies near the coast, and joined us as we took in the wonderful scent of smouldering wood and brush. Then, an Aston Martin drove into the lot and the owner, Steve, was immediately dragged into the gathering. He'd come to do some shopping but wound up joining us on the outing. 

     While this was going on, our old friend Robert Laroche wandered over. There was lots of hand shaking and catching up. 

     The drive to Stanley was great fun and I situated myself between the Marcos and the Aston. As we wound along the Nashwaak (it sure is low right now) I was serenaded from both front and back by two lovely sounding engines. 

      At Stanley we were met by Sandy & Larry and Karen & Terry, adding three more cars. It totalled 11(?) FABACian vehicles on the fairgrounds. The day was great fun with horse pulls, hit-n-miss engines and wandering through the exhibits. The sun was blistering and any available shade was fought over. Joe's van became a welcome respite from the sun. The Daigles had the right idea, having brought a small lawn umbrella. We'll remember for next year, maybe posting a list of needed items? 

     Thanks to the team of Sandy & Larry for arranging today's outing.
