Thank You from Suz Troutner Post author:admin Post published:August 3, 2023 Post category:Events You Might Also Like Senior Center Car Show We had a car show Saturday July 15, 2023, with the Palmer Senior Center “Cars & Crafts” Event. It was a nice event, but the rain put a little damper on everything. The event was from 10 – 4 and the car show ran from 11 – 3. Since it rained all day and not just overcast but rained the Senior center moved all the vendors into the dinning room and we were lucky to be able to stay warm and dry in the bad weather. Since it was raining we only had 10 vehicles attend. I don’t know why but for some reason I never got a picture of the cars in a line out side. Never entered my mind until I got home and was unloading the car. The cars that showed up were a 1969 Corvette, 1974 VW, 1969 el Camino, 51 Chevy, 21 Nissan, 99 Mercedes 68 Ford Terino, 34 Dodge, a Ford truck and a Jeep. The Nissan won 3rd place, the el Camino won 2nd place and the Terino won 1st place for the People’s Choice. All in all another nice day sitting around visiting with each other. July 21, 2023 Klassic Kruz & Swap Meet 2023. Had a nice car show and swap meet Saturday at Alaska Raceway Park for our Klassic Kruz. We had around 40 vehicles show up but only 24 registered. I stood up on the tower and took pictures and counted 35 cars and saw several others come in later. Swap meet wise I was very happy with the turn out. We had probably around 7 people set up to sell parts so that wasn’t too bad for our first time. I have been to smaller ones in Alaska. “Exquisite Urban Tastes” was the food truck at the show. It was very windy. Sunny but windy and cars seemed to come and go. We shut down a little early and gave out the trophies at around 3:30 because so many had already left. Remember unless you ask someone to accept your trophy for you, you must be present to win. Saturdays Winners were 3rd Place People’s Choice 1957 Studebaker Silver Hawk, 2nd Place People’s Choice 1966 Chevelle and 1st Place People’s Choice 1965 El Camino. May 17, 2023 Received some very sad news yesterday after the car show. I heard from Suz Troutner that John had passed away that morning. I called her when I got home and asked if he had been sick for a while and she said no he got pneumonia, and it turned septic and that was the cause of his passing. I don’t have an address right now for anyone who wants to send a card but will get it. If you DM me, I will give you the phone number and email address if you don’t already have it. I am sure it would be a comfort for her to hear from everyone. They moved to Kentucky a few years ago and live close to their youngest son. July 16, 2023
