CCCNS 2004 CLASSIC CHEVY WEEKEND
On the weekend of September 25-26, 2004, the Classic Chevy Club of Nova Scotia held their annual Classic Chevy Weekend (commonly also called the Fall Outing). This time the host facility was the beautiful MacKay's Cottages along the Sunrise Trail near Pictou. The owner turned out to also be a car guy, and took us on a tour of his multi-bay shop, which held an old Rolls Royce and a Model 1. (The Rolls was sold later at the Barrett Jackson auction).
The weather was beautiful, and approximately 50 club members brought 14 toys out to play. The weekend was filled with games, laughs, good food, a great couple of auctions for charity, and a club meeting. Once the results of the Participant's Judging were added up, the following members' cars were recognized:
Participant's Choice 1955 Chevy: Lorne & Dorothy Gilbert's BelAir hardtop
Participant's Choice 1956 Chevy: Donnie & Debbie Martin's BelAir hardtop
Participant's Choice 1957 Chevy: Wilbert & Nancy Bali's BelAir sedan
Special Interest (Tie): Rick Merrill and Sharon Flemming's
1964 Chevelle SS
Rick & Paula Dempsey's 1972 Nova SS
On Sunday; after the club meeting, several club members cruised the Sunset Trail back to Truro while en route to Halifax. All in all, it was a great time.
