Can you believe we are already in September? Summer flew by fast! Well, this month promises to be a fun one with a few events coming up. One of them will take place after the September meeting.

We look forward to seeing you with your classics this month! Steve Fox
Apple Pie Run – 9/21
The Apple Pie Run - or Cherry Pie, Lemon Meringue Pie, or any of the many famous pies hand made at the Gizdich Ranch. Our journey will start in the Almaden Valley section of San Jose. Almaden Valley was named after the New Almaden Mines and produced Mercury that was used to process ore during the gold rush days. We will continue our cruise south onto country roads towards Calero Reservoir, a short stop to check out the picturesque lake view, boats, and water skiers, then back on the road again. Our next stop will be Uvas Dam, again just off the slightly curvy country road lies yet another body of water. You won’t find any ski boats here, just a few fishermen enjoying the afternoon fishing and BBQ'ing. From here we will continue south onto Watsonville Rd. Then we will head West onto Hecker

(Apple Pie – continued from page1) Pass Highway (152). At this point we are just a few miles from our destination. We will continue on HW 152 west to Mt. Madonna. We will make another stop here at the top. This will definitely be a Kodak moment. From here, on a clear day, you can see all the way to Santa Cruz. A few pictures, back in the cars and down the hill into Watsonville where we will visit Fortino Winery and then the Gizdich Ranch. The Gizdich family has owned this 67 acre ranch since 1930. It is a family-owned business that produces 14 varieties of apples, strawberries, raspberries, ollalieberries, blackberries, winter squash, and fresh apple juice. The fine folks at the ranch will have reserved parking waiting for us. Here we will enjoy the best fresh baked pies on the planet, plus there is also a gift shop, Antique Shop, pick-yourself area, and tours. Wow, I am almost out of breath, but I am not done yet. As a special added treat, the club will be picking up the tab for lunch and dessert. Please, club members and immediate family only. Mark your calendars for yet another first class event. Your club officers and volunteers are working hard for you, so please come and support your club.

2014 Halloween Contest
It’s not too soon to be thinking about Halloween and our annual party, scheduled this year on Saturday, October 25. I'd love for people to be thinking about some cool different categories for the Halloween contest this year. Who, for example, will win this year's Halloween costume contest for Biggest Hair? Best Face Make-Up? Best 60's or 70's Character? Herman Munster? Uncle Fester? Morticia Adams? Gilligan? The Club's Favorite Decorated Pumpkin? I was thinking we could have people cast votes for their favorite pumpkin rather than having the judges decide. You know, different from past years. We'll need to order up some trophies for the categories, and it would be great to get input from the members. If we don't get ANY other suggestions, I might run with the suggestions I just mentioned, but it would be great to get some ideas from the membership. Thanks! – Bev Mosqueda

Hot August Niles
It was terrific day in downtown Niles on Saturday, August 16. The sun had not even come up at 6:15am, however we already had 1 club member holding spots and by 6:30 several other members were parked in front of the El Camino Real bar. By 7am we had cars on both sides of the
street, a total of 7 cars from our club members. We even had some other Chevelle and El Camino owners interested in our club so we of course were distributing those club membership forms and cards. The weather was on our side, a mild summer day in Niles. The great things about this show are the people as well as the number of cars to see. The food is always great with Niles’ cafes and restaurants. For those of you who missed this show, put this one on your calendars for next year!
