Planning Tour for the 2018 Central Meet... - 06/17/17 01:37 AM
For those of you that haven't heard the news yet, The Southern Ontario Canada Region will be hosting the 2018 Central Meet. We are excited to invite all of you up to the beautiful Kawartha Lakes area of Ontario Canada for a week of VCCA touring and a judged VCCA show.
Last week the planning committee for the meet conducted our own "Planning Tour" to get ourselves acquainted with the area and to make some local contacts. We also stayed at the host hotel, the Comfort Inn in Peterborough. I'm pleased to say we were extremely satisfied with both the venue and the service from the hotel.
On Monday morning I met my navigator for the week, Randy Pettitt at Tim Horton's in Bolton. We then met up with our Central Meet Chairperson, Maggie Ross, & Paul Rozon,(1931roadster, here on Chat) and Les & Bev Gadjacs. I had a route planned that took us on backroads up over the "city" of Southern Ontario. We ducked through the Holland Marsh agricultural area, always neat to see with it's blacker than black soil, and neat rows of veggies.
Our first u-turn of the day found us at a lunch stop in Holland Landing. A nice little family restaurant. Good food, cheap price, and friendly service.
That's my '51, Paul & Maggie's '65 Nova SS, and Les & Bev's '61 Impala.
Our first stop of the day was at Bay Ridges Classic Chevy to drum up some local info, support, etc. John O'Hare runs a nice little parts business out of a decent shop in his backyard, as well as another business in Dundas Ontario. He was very interested in our meet next year, and we look forward to supporting each other in the future. If you're looking for Vintage Chevy Parts in Southern Ontario, check him out...

In his driveway was this nice little '55 sedan. Don't be fooled at a stop light... there's a 409 under the hood...
