Yay, we’re having a picnic! We will be celebrating our Tumbleweed Group’s 50th birthday, the 62nd birthday of the Early Ford V-8 Club, the 123rd anniversary of the Ford Motor Company, the 73rd anniversary of the flatheads demise (bummer) and the City of Albuquerque’s 320th birthday! All dates are approximate.

 The festivities begin at 11 am at the Village of Corrales Park, next to the Gymnasium. We’ll line up all those flatheads and celebrate each other’s cars. Then we’ll have sandwiches, share some goodies and tie everything together with birthday cake. Water and chips will also be provided, courtesy of the club! Wow, a free lunch (donations accepted)! Feel free to bring a side dish, a salad or anything else you’d like to share with the Ford party animals. Volunteers to help and clean up are appreciated. Let’s put on the biggest display of flatheads since 1953! Bring your friends!

 We will have our popular 50-50 raffle with some nice prizes as well as the cash! Please feel free to donate items for the raffle.
