Luckily, an afternoon rainstorm around 2:00 was brief,
and the crouds came out again as soon as it stopped. The rain was a good reason for the Club to
pack our things as we were planning to depart at 3:00 anyway. While getting ready to leave the Fairgrounds,
Neil found that his Luverne fire truck wouldn't start, probably due to a low battery. Larry offered to
use his Faultless Raceabout (probably the lightest car there that day) to tow the fire truck that weighs over two
tons! Amazingly, the Raceabout managed the task to the delight of a large crowd of spectators that had
gathered to watch. Dean's 1923 touring, driven by his friend Leonard, also had problems starting and had
to be towed home by Linda's Fordor "LuLu Belle". Dean discovered later that a dirty commutator was the
cause of the problem. The club's "Rubber Chicken Award" was passed on to President Dean at the
next Club meeting.
The day was very enjoyable for the Club as well as for the Fair attendees.
Thanks to Vaughn for organizing the event!
