FABAC Gagetown Tour

We had another wonderful tour Sunday put on by John D. This one was to Gagetown to experience a great farmers market, a very tasty lunch at the Old Boot Pub and finally ice cream desserts at the Dari Delight in Lincoln. 

After all the overnight rain, one would have thought that this would have been a wash out but once again John was able to call it as a "let's go" and we're all glad he did as we all had a great time with little to no rain for the entire event.

Well done, John, thanks from all of us.

The weather is looking good for the run to the Gagetown Farmers Market.

The weatherman promises an increasingly better day after the possibility of a light shower in the next hour. Might even see some sunshine in the afternoon.

See you soon! Leaving from the Ramada Inn (North end of the Princess Margaret Bridge) at 10:00am.

Fords and more Fords!

For those who have an affinity for Ford vehicles, this is an amazing video.  It’s the largest collection of Ford cars and commercial vehicles in the world. The private museum was in the Netherlands and has been sold off through auction and other means around 2018.

Weather might just be cooperating for our Gagetown run tomorrow.

John has been agonizing over GO or NOT GO. It looks like a GO at this point. John recommends the following:

If it is raining at 9:00am on Sunday, the trip is cancelled.

If it is not raining, we shall meet at the Ramada Inn for a departure at 10:00 sharp.

John will be in Gagetown preparing for our arrival.

We have always had a good turnout of FABAC vehicles of all sorts, so join us.

We will be in Gagetown from 11 to 2pm. So, at 2:00, if the Gagetown ferry is operating, we could  take the Ferry over and drive through Cambridge Narrows and back to Fredericton on the 105. Also if the the group wants to we could cross over Burton bridge and drive to Dairy Delight in Lincoln for ice cream then proceed on our merry way home. If anyone wants to make reservations at any of the three restaurant in Gagetown, I will leave it up to them. I just go to the Old Boots Tavern. Food truck usually on the grounds.

Notes from FABAC June Meeting

     It seems that all meetings will now involve a treasure hunt to find the meeting locale.  We drove endlessly around the headpond last night until we stumbled upon the gang at something called the York Centennial Park. The place has only one minuscule sign that CAN'T be seen from the road.  Finding everyone was pure luck. When we got there the dinner/meeting was over but everyone was nice enough to stay for a while anyway so that we didn't feel like we'd driven all that way for nothing. Still, it's a gorgeous spot and it was a balmy evening. All we would have needed was a boat or bathing suits. Now that we know where it is, maybe we can do it again sometime.

• Phil's breakfasts continue to be a hit with a regular crowd that's a bit irregular, always in attendance.  If it ever stops raining, Phil has vowed to take us outside to Odell Park.  As always, the ladies are encouraged to attend.
• The Windsor British Show is happening July 14-15.
• Stanley Fair Aug 19th.
• Bruce mentioned a 'solar tour(?)' that several members are working on for sometime in August.  This will be a rain or shine event but rain will take some of the glamour out of solar part.
• The Eden's Retirement Villa (by the Willie O'Ree Centre) is asking for us and other car clubs to put on a little show for its residents. David will keep us in the loop on this.
• The old Freddy Beach car gathering is back in the parking lot behind where the Legion used to be (and will be again).  It's only loosely organized which is what made it such fun.  It's now on Wednesday evenings.
• Our next meeting will be a Wolastook Wharf, hopefully on the patio.

FABAC Meeting/Eating Wednesday, June 21st—SUMMER!

At our last meeting we decided to have an outdoor meeting at the Mactaquac Centennial Park—recently renamed York Centennial Day Use Area. This is located on Route 105 on the left a ways past the main entrance to the Mactaquac Provincial Park.

Remember to bring your picnic meal and chairs.

Hope to see you there.

Gagetown Update

I have been keeping watching the weather forecasts and it’s not looking good for the weekend. If there’s no change by Thursday night, I guess we’ll call it off and reschedule for another time. Check back here for updates.

Cheers, 

John
