What Really happened - It was cloudy with a threat
of rain, which it did, just briefly, and I suspect that dampened attendance a
bit, but considering what we would generally expect for august, it was a very
pleasant day and a good show. We didn't
need to bring our own shade or wait in line for lunch, and the peach pie and
homemade ice cream was as good as it should be.
The Halstead Old Settlers Days Car Show was the following saturday and several of us were
there as part of the Sunflower IH display.
They always have a good and good-looking turn-out, and the rest of the
show was impressive as well.
Lastly, the Brookdale Retirement Home in Hutch
had their annual car show on the 25th. Wheat State member Red Hoffman lives there now, and Andy &
Bondo, Lenny, Dan, and I had our trucks there for him. I know of at least one member who was unable
to make it due to severe weather that hit Hutch the night before, but we had
fine, sunny weather for the day. We
spent a good bit of time visiting with Red in his room and outside with the
trucks, and there are a number of pictures of our visit in our facebook group.
A couple of years ago, I heard of a car collection located within a few miles south of Salina, one that
would soon be open for viewing by appointment.
If you have knowledge of it, and especially if you have contact info,

free to pass them on as well.

Laurence and Jodi are working
on a new display for the ATHS Dash Plaques from our national conventions
through the years, but discovered that HQ is missing dash plaques from the 2011
and 2013 conventions. We need one of each to complete the new display. If you would like to donate
one or both of these dash plaques, please contact Jodi at (816) 891-9900 or

The
ATHS Collections Gallery contains nearly 40,000 prints and is vital in
showing the history of the motor truck industry. The photos not only capture
what the early models looked like, but there are many images of parts, engines,
and diagrams that are useful to the researcher or enthusiast. Photo
reproductions are available for purchase through the gallery or by contacting
