Ken, do you ever get down to the Madison area with that squad? I'd love to see
it. I live in Middleton and the big show in Jefferson is not out of the
question for me, been to it many times. Madison Classics puts it on.

Today we attended out 31st event with squad car thus far this summer. It
was a large classic car show with around 200 beautiful cars. The squad was
chosen as one of the "Top 25 Cars" for the event so we came home with
another beautiful trophy. But the best part was when I went up to get the
award two kids ran up to me and grabbed me and shook my hand because they
were so happy the Mayberry Car won.
Now for the big surprise. The car that won the top award was a Hudson
Tarraplane. Now if this is the one that was advertized in the paper Barney
was reading, he really passed up a good deal. A much better car than the
one he bought from Hubcaps Lesch.
When we got home from the car show I found a package on my doorstep. Upon
opening it I discovered two items. One was a Mayberry Motor Inn coffee mug
and the other item was a David Browning Bobble Head with Dave sitting on
the motorcycle with a sidecar. What a treasure this is. It was sent to me
by none other than the great guy who sold me my squad car, Bob Dewitt, from
Wataga, Illinois.
In mid August our Technical College is hosting a national Big Rig Truck
Show for three days. They bring in large rigs from all over the United
States for a big show. They never include cars. However, this year they
are making an exception and have invited me to bring the squad car to the
show on their opening day. What an honor this is.
So life continues to be just great here in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. We may
be far away from our beloved North Carolina, but the spirit of Mayberry is
alive and well here.
