The 13th Annual St Martin's Show & Shine

Well , this little fellow really enjoyed the 13th
Annual Show & Shine in St Martin's this year.
Sitting back with a beer, sun glasses and a hat
to keep off the sun , he seems to be really
enjoying the music ! Weather held up and no
rain , that's gotta be a plus at any car show.
Lois & I met Ron & Anne Gould along with Vernon &
Julia Patriquin at the Big Stop where we continued
on to the Duncan's to meet up with Linda & John
and Bob Cromwell. On to St Martin's to meet members
from the Moncton & St John clubs.After the show we
were all invited back to the"Wishart Homestead"
owned by Greg & Claudette Turner for a barbeque.
I'd like to thank Roger and Angie Bourgeois as well as
Greg & Claudette for the wonderfull time and hospitality
had by all.

A Tour of the Coast

Some members from the Moncton Corvette Club
gave us a tour of some finer spots in the Moncton
area.We were guests to the air show and toured
some areas along the Norththumberland coast.I'd
like to thank Angie and Roger Bourgeois for putting
Ron and Anne , Lois and me up Sunday night.They
were terrific hosts and we had a blast all day Sunday.
Members from River Valley Vettes missed out on a
super time.We also toured Corn Hill Nursery but had
to leave a little earlier than we wanted to do to some
light showers. Weather cleared up a little later and
back on the road for a seafood supper at "Aboiteau"
in Cape Pele.Making the run was Kelly Kelly ,Ron &
Anne Gould, Tom & Lois Hiltz from RVV. We met up
with Roger & Angie Bourgeois, Roger & Leontine Boudreau,
