What a neat first-time event!
I was headed back home from "Kaiserville", aka: the
in-laws, and as I was approaching Oak Hill, I noticed the old Oak
Hill Elementary School field was full of hot-rods, food vendors
and booths of all types and sizes. When I got home, I found
a copy of the Oak Hill Gazette in the driveway, and on the front
page was an event advertised as "hot cars and hot music at
new Oak Hill festival".
Well, the rain had stopped from earlier this morning and I was
planning on taking the jeep out for a maintenance run
anyway. With that in mind, it didn't take long for me to
fire the old jeep up and head over to the event. I arrived
about 4:30pm and found a spot to park with all the other vehicles.
There were some really nice hot-rods there. Off the top
of my head, there were new muscle cars, old hot-rods, really
modified hot-rods and some just beautifully restored
vehicles. My favorite was a '41 Willis with a blown engine
of some huge size. Next favorite was a newer white Mustang
that was done really well for a street car. It just sounded
nice.
I answered a lot of questions about the jeep, and fielded more
'road rage' and 'deer hunting' topics than I could stand.
The vehicle was a real crowd pleaser as it's just so different
than the rest of the vehicles that show up for these things.
That's what makes it so fun to take out!
About dark-thirty, I packed up my stuff and headed out.
From what I heard, this will be an annual event. Stay
tuned... |
