The East Central Kansas Model T’s will celebrate their 30th Anniversary on Saturday, April 13. They will meet at Kelly Hall on the Fairgrounds in Burlington, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the celebration, meeting and catered meal. The meal, catered by Big B’s BBQ, will include a main entre’, vegetables, dessert and drinks. There will be no need to bring a side dish. Attendees are encouraged to wear period clothing. Depending on the weather that day, drive your model T as there may be an impromptu short tour/drive around town. Additional activities led by members are to be announced.
The meetings are a time to share experiences and information about cars and car projects. Members will share the happenings of recent tours they’ve attended and projects they are working on. Announcements of coming events and tours will be made. Those who attended the Annual Model T Ford Club of America meeting in Oklahoma City, Okla. will report on the meeting. One tour coming up on May 2-3 is the Big Kansas Road Trip based out of Ellsworth. Also included in discussion will be possible tours for the coming year. Please bring ideas about interesting places that the club could visit. As owners and drivers of gas-powered cars, we need to be aware of the KDOT’s three-month study on a “pay-permile” Road Usage Charge (RUC). For more information visit www.midwest ruc.org.
The ECKMT Club is a family organization and a chapter of the not for profit National Model T Club of America. Owning a Model T is not a requirement for membership. All meetings are open to the public. For additional information call Bud Redding at 785-733-2124.
