THIRD ANNUAL B.I. VINTAGE VEHICLE SHOW
Once again we will all be able to dust off our collectable collage of Transportation Toys we have stuck away here and there on Beaver Island.
Be it cars, trucks, Jeeps, wagons(horse, Li'll Red or station), motorcycles, tractors, boats, bicycles, snow machines, canoes, carriages, (both horse drawn and baby) Have I forgotten anything?. Bring 'em down!
The third annual B.I. Vintage Vehicle Show will be held at the Point, in front of the St. James Township Hall on Sunday, August 10th. 1P.M.
The last two events were great fun and vintage vehicles, from boats to bicycles seem to come out of every barn and garage on Beaver Island. This show is not about perfection. It is about FUN. No contests, no prizes, no judges... just fun.
A work in progress? Is it only half finished? Great, then let's see it!!
Past years, there was a finned 1950's fiberglass runabout, a 1940's Swedish bicycle, a couple of antique baby carriages, a Corvette, Caddy's, Harleys, a few nice European sports cars, Ford Model A's, wood canoes, ....who can forget Phil Becker crankin' up his vintage Suzuki snow machine for the crowd?
And, of course, the proud Charlie Martin chugging down the road, leading the Parade....to the Pub..
What is vintage? Well, if you think it is cool enough to show your pride and joy to your island neighbors and friends.. then it qualifies!
So, throw a few quarters in the car wash, take a couple hours from your I'm just oh, so busy, Sunday island schedule and let's have a great turn out.
Your support and participation is needed and appreciated.
If you do not take the time to make it a success, who will?
Gathering at 12:30 pm (please be prompt)
Show starts at 1 pm..
...and the now, World Famous, Vintage Vehicle Parade around the town..
Starts at 2:30 pm

Thanks Sharolyn! It's an easy show to put on after 3 years of doing it, everything just kinda clicks. Was great to have you and Doug there with your unique boat and Caddy, very cool vehicles. On behalf of the organizers thanks to all who came, either to show or to view.
I heard from Andy Kohls that the Animal Fund took in just short of $100 in donations. They were very much appreciative of all the support from everyone who attended the show!
See you all next year...
