[MBZ] Fwd: Save the Date- ChowdahQ XV Sept. 10, 2022

[Dwight Giles via Mercedes]

Dwight E. Giles Jr.
Wickford RI


-.


[image: image.png]

Mark your calendar for another wonderful celebration of vehicles and
camaraderie.  Once again we  will be at Goddard State Park, 1095 Ives Road
Warwick RI. Sites 40-42.
http://www.riparks.com/Locations/LocationGoddard.html

We will start to gather about 10AM for coffee and Dunkin Donuts (It is New
England).  We will start with Chowdah about 1PM.  As always we will have
clam loaded Chowdah and Curt's Coleman cooked  food of You Tube Fame . Fred
Moir  will once again make his famous healthy veggie trays and dips and we
will have Mary's fresh fruit.  We  will also steam a couple hundred local
littleneck clams.

As usual, we will have a great time of hood raising, story telling, some
games and contests and a drawing for a  gift certificate from  our sponsor
Fred's Autohaus  in West Warwick RI. No admission charge  but we will pass
the 240D hubcap for expenses.
