2025 Fircrest Picnic and Rod Run


We had our July meeting at the Fircrest car show on July 6th this year. I (Tim and Heidi Crawford) were in an accident on the way to the show. Pictured at top, our car was parked on a sloped drive at our home waiting to be loaded for the show that morning when I looked out the window of our home and saw the bird rolling down the drive! I had left it in “P” without the E-brake on and it failed to hold it. It made a zzttzzttzztt sound as it rolled down the drive about 60 ft before it had crossed the street and into a shallow ditch then hit a small rock wall. I was able to get it off the wall with it’s own power and dislodged a couple of rocks and bent the bottom of the bumper in the process. Yet we were able to immediately drive it to the show. No other damage. At the show, we were gathered near the edge of the park behind the backstop against a private fence at the show. We enjoyed a good amount of food and beverages, a lot of cars and even some friends were there with other cars or just visiting. The Baileys met an old friend there they hadn’t seen in over 20 yrs! Quite a commemorative event. The music and weather were good. The club had 3 cars attend and we received our goody bags, raffle tickets and dash plaques. Only minor issues with our cars were found. The hoods were opened and compartments were appreciated. It was a successful meeting and show. We were truly blessed by it all.
