Young Ed and the POC Bulletin

[Young Ed]

Wayne that'd be great. I can handle an extra magazine. One wife is enough!

Well, it does pay to be nice to people. On December 13th, 2009, I entered PLYWOOD in the Rawhide Western Entertainment's Rawhide Rumble Classic Car and Motorcycle Show. The Rawhide event coordinator, Beth, was very helpful and enthusiastic, to all of the entrants, during the event. PLYWOOD did win a nice plaque and I got to drive home in the rain, after the event was finished.

Tonight, I received a VM, on my cell phone, that Beth wanted to have my permission to tell a gal pal of hers, Tracy, about PLYWOOD, because Tracy's company (Encore Creative Productions) was looking for a cool local Woodie car, for a Thursday night, July 13, production/event situation. At this moment, I don't have all of the particulars, but will find them out, first thing in the morning. PLYWOOD would be parked in place, from 6:30 PM - 1:00 AM, for this event, what ever it is, and the really good news is that I will be paid $500, for providing a Woodie car. I just hope the company didn't locate another Woodie car already. We'll see. If I get the "gig" (thats entertainment talk), I'll let you all know how and what with pictures, if I am allowed. Wish PLYWOOD and I a little luck, for this unique opportunity. Thanks.

Well, as fate would have it, the people at Encore Creative Productions had located another Woodie for Thursday night's event, so PLYWOOD and I won't be included. There are two bits of good news, though. It is going to be 116 degrees tomorrow; probably way too hot to attempt to drive PLYWOOD without concern for over heating and a miserable ride. The two gals from the two entertainment companies were each sent email photos of both PLYWOOD and RED RYDER, for future reference in regards to specialty interest vehicles required by their respective companies. Both responded in the positive and have placed both of my rides in their resources files, for future reference and possible usage. So, I dodged the "heat" bullet and possibly made some great entertainment connections.

Will be interesting to see what results down the line, Charlie.

A while back several local folks, me included, took our cars to the

Carthage, MO Rt 66 Drive-In Theater (about 15 miles from here).....

for use as props in the t v show Great American Road Trip.

In the morning they told us just how and where to park the cars; we

sat around for a while; then they put us on a nice big bus for a trip to

the nearby city park for a catered lunch and loafing around for about 3

hours while they actually filmed the contestants doing their thing.

When they were done, we were bussed back to get our cars and go

home. Our pay was the lunch, which was pretty good. Took up most

of the day, however. So, ya never know. I did get a couple glimpses

of the car when the show aired.

Several months ago a fellow who liked to promote Rt 66 said he wanted

to use our car in a video----he had spotted it at a cruise-in and liked it.

In the end, nothing happened as the guy has moved to another town and

never got around to the video. Stardom is rather elusive sometimes.

Perhaps the online version comes before they really get them in the mail. Honestly before this I never even knew there was an online version so I guess I can't say. I'm already working on ordering extra copies even though I haven't gotten the first one!

I finally got mine in the mail yesterday! Congrats on the wedding Ed, nice article.

On another note, I saw in the region news you guys are thinking about putting in for a meet (Spring?) next year. Several members of the Prairie Region hope you are successful with your bid.

[Young Ed]

Lee thats good news maybe mine will come today then. I've been waiting very impatiently. I run home to check the mail everyday! We'll be discussing the meeting at our next meeting the first w/e of august. Sounds pretty good so far.

[daddyo23]

I think my mailman must have recognized a celebrity in the making and ran off with mine.

Ed I got mine in the mail and couldn't put it down. In addition to the nice wedding article there were many other interesting articles. It sure is a first class publication.

[Young Ed]

Yes ours came today too. Very lovely. Even though I'd already seen the article it was great to see the cover and Lannys impression. I can tell he really loves his gift as a picture of that even made it in.

[BobT-47P15]

Glad you FINALLY got your magazine, Ed.

It is a nice article.

[48Dodger]

Awesome job on the wedding Ed! Congrat's to both of you, great article too.
