roads The Antique Auto Association of Regina, Saskatchewan,
won $ 150.00 for being the out of town club with the most car
entries. They arrived at the show with eight cars. The
Old Car Club would like to thank the following sponsors of our 27th
annual show. They are: DeShaw Agency, Rocky Mountain Bank, Montana
State Bank, Stockman Bank, Four Winds, Veterans Club, Larry Garrick
of NAPA, ACE Hardware, Holtan
Auto Body, Charlie Archer Promotions, State Farm, Tande Computing,
Hi-Line Sports, Plentywood Sanitation Co., Cassidy's, Farmers Union
Oil of Plentywood, Derl Fellon Auto Sales, Curtiss Farm & Auto,
Car & Truck Exchange, Performance Signs and Graphics and the
Plentywood Chamber of Commerce. We would also like to thank Carol
Nielsen and Patti Wagner for the day lunch, Dr. DeBelles for the
evening banquet, Harold Robinson for the use of his building for our
show headquarters, the Greeter, Sheridan County News, KATQ, KXMD-TV
Williston, Northern News Network of Williston for carrying our
advertising and the City of Plentywood for allowing us to use Main
Street for our show. Also, thank you to anyone I missed. We
had forty-three cars registered at the show this year. A little more
than half of last years total. The late seeding season, road
construction and other activities took their toll. We still had a
very good variety of cars for the public to look at, on a day that
was perfect for a car show. The club will now begin to plan for some
other activities for the summer, most notably, Perry Stratton's Hot
August Night Fall Run. The Old Car Club would like to thank all the
people who came out Saturday to look at the cars, encourage you to
get into
the hobby and hope you have a safe driving summer. See you at the
28th Annual Old Car Club Show on June 7, 2003 in downtown
Plentywood. |

The Old Car Club held their regular monthly meeting at the Civic Center on April 15, 2003. President Larry Pierson was the presiding officer. There were eleven members present.
Bill moved and Roger seconded a motion to approve the minutes of the last meeting. Motion was carried. Butch reported on the progress of the Friday evening portion of the June Car Show. South Main Street will be roped off from the stoplights to the Orpheum Theatre. The B-Q will be held just for people who enter a car Friday evening. This B-Q will be held at one of the local parks. A one-man band from Canada has been hired to perform on Main Street. His show will run from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm. We will still be able to park cars on Main Street. Later in the evening, the cars will leave Main Street, form up for the parade and then come down Main Street with all their light decorations. Butch will see if anyone wants to provide a concession stand for the Saturday show. Roger reported that the t-shirt design should be done this next week and possibly finished by the middle of May. Discussion then turned to the Sunset Drive-in’s Hot August Night Car Show. A motion was made by Butch and seconded by Roger. The motion stated that the show start at 4:00pm, that the entry fee be raised to $ 10.00 and that the fees be split 50/50 between the Sunset and the car club. After discussion, the motion passed. There being no further business, Larry then provided a brief seminar about electricity; its characteristics, how to work with it and how to be safe with it. Marvin then moved that the meeting be adjourned. Perry seconded the motion, which then passed. Members present: Larry Pierson, Bill Lord, Harley Kleppen, Brad Wilson, Perry Stratton, Butch Nielsen, Roger Schwanz, Marvin Wagnild, Mike Ross, Jerry Phelps and Todd Johnson |

After short discussion, the motion was passed. In another motion, Roger moved and Perry seconded to have the words “In Memory of Arnold Boe and Waldo Morstad” added to the image. After discussion, this motion also passed.

Larry relayed a report from Butch concerning the Friday, June 6, events. Butch has not found anybody to put on the B-Q, but he is still looking. He may have found a musician from Canada to perform on Friday night and possibly Saturday. A more detailed report will be available at the April meeting.
Mike asked the club how much money should be spent on advertising. Almost $600.00 was spent in 2002. Of that, $120.00 was spent on posters, $ 175.00 was spent with the Plentywood media, $ 288.00 was spent at KXMD and KEYZ in Williston and $ 14.56 was spent on postage.

The February 18, 2003 meeting of the Old Car Club was held at the Civic center under the direction of President Larry Pierson. There were thirteen members present. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved by a motion made by Roger and seconded by Harley. Motion carried. The treasury report showed a balance of $2,687.18. That report was accepted with a motion by Butch, seconded by Harley and approved. Roger reported that t-shirts would cost $13.52 per shirt on a 50-shirt order, the same as last year. This year’s design will feature cars owned by Waldo Morstad and Arnold Boe, deceased members of the club. Perry reported that the balance beam frame is put together. It just needs a deck and be painted. Curtiss Farm & Auto will donate the paint and Brad will paint it. The deck will be 7 feet by 20 feet. Terry reported that his dad was about 75% done with the trophies. Mike reported that the plaques for the trophies had been ordered. Richard brought samples of the 2003 show poster to the meeting. A couple details concerning the Friday evening B-Q need to be changed. Butch, Richard and Mike will take care of them and make the necessary changes. Otherwise, the poster looked very good. Other discussion about the Friday evening part of the show included having KATQ radio play 50s-60s music during the evening, especially during the parade of lights, finding a sponsor for the B-Q, and if the B-Q should be just for people who bring a car or the general public. These items will be looked into and reported on at a future meeting. Larry then asked the members what they would like to do at future meetings. Have more demonstrations, put together some tours and have club members build pinewood derby cars or valve cover racecars for races were some ideas mentioned.
There being no further business, meeting was adjourned. Members present: Larry Pierson, Mike Ross, Butch Nielsen, Richard Thompson, Harley Kleppen, Daryl Olson, Brad Wilson, Ron Burton, Terry Wagner, Marvin Wagnild, Bill Lord, Richard Rice, Perry Stratton

The Old Car Club held their regular monthly meeting at the Civic Center on January 21, 2003. Vice-President Dale Adams was the presiding officer. There were nine members present. Minutes of the November meeting were read and approved.
There was no treasury report.
Dale reported on the Borderland Car Club of Crosby Christmas party. It was a nice gathering with lots of visiting and good food.
Roger reported on some of the planned events of the North Dakota Street Rod Association of which he is a member. The first show of the season is in Minot in February.
Butch reported that on Friday evening, June 6, the car show could be started with a barbecue, DJ music at the Town Square and a parade of lights later in the evening. Cars in the parade would have lights in or under their cars and then cruise through the streets ending up at South Main Street. The business section of Main Street would have a speaker system hooked up for music during the parade. Butch advised that the club get some other organization to sponsor the evening so that club members could enjoy the evening rather than work. Mike moved that the club make a Friday evening barbecue, parade and DJ music part of the car show and that it be advertised as such. Roger seconded the motion, which then passed. Butch noted that one organization that may be interested in putting together the Friday night event was the local Lions Club.
Perry reported that the V-Trailer Co. was working on a balance beam and probably be done with it next week. The cost of the beam is estimated to be about $1,100.00. One suggestion to help offset the cost of the beam was to sell advertising spots on the deck. We will take up this issue at a later meeting. Mike reported that the trophy sponsors have been notified and will be billed in March. Bill Wagner is working on the trophies now and will have them ready by May 1, so we can display them downtown during May. Roger reported that BC Glass donated the glass for the trophies.
There being no further business, meeting was adjourned. Members then went to Greg Fellon’s garage for an upholstery demonstration.
Members present: Dale Adams, Perry Stratton, Roger Schwanz, Marvin Wagnild, Butch Nielsen, Bill Lord, Harley Kleppen, Luke Pattee, Mike Ross |

The Apri116, 2002 meeting of the Old Car Club of Plentywood was conducted at the Civic Center under the direction of Vice President Larry Pierson. There were nine members and four guests present. Minutes
of the previous meeting were read and approved by motion made by
Greg and seconded by Harley. Motion passed. The
club treasury has $ 3.647.88 on account. Roger
reported on club t-shirt costs and design. His source will cost $
13.52 per shirt with a picture front and back, on a 50-shirt order.
If the club orders a second 50-shirt order, the cost for that order
will be $8.90 per shirt. By motion made. seconded and passed, Roger
was authorized to order 50 shirts in the sizes of medium. large,
x-large and 2x large. Mike
reported on the advertising he has done for the car show.
Advertising has been or will be done by poster, Internet, radio,
both Plentywood and Williston stations, KXMD- TV of Williston,
Sheridan County News and the Greeter. The local Chamber of Commerce
has donated $400.00 to help with out of town advertisements. Jerry
brought up a concern of the downtown businesses about the club
moving the show off Main Street. The show plan is in place and will
not be changed for this show. At the June meeting, the club will
review the show and decide where the best spot is for the 2003 show.
Mike
moved and Greg seconded a motion that Luke Pattee’s Mustang be the
2002 Club Choice Car and that Jerry Phelps Dodge will be the second
choice. Motion carried. Mike
brought to the attention of the club, that a number of students at
Plentywood High School are exploring the possibility of forming a
high school car club. Larry will meet with Mrs. Thompson and find
out more details. Greg
reported that Perry Stratton is planning a cruise night to occur
some Saturday in August. Some early plans include a B-Q, contests
and a movie. Perry will try to have a poster ready for display at
the car show and also be available to visit with out of town clubs
about the event. Also, the DQ would possibly like to do a 50's
carhop at their restaurant. Could be a more interesting summer for
our club for a change. In
the same line of thought, members of the club discussed the
possibility of turning the car show into a two and a half or
three-day show. Since we have our show on Saturday and the Elk’s
club have their Bump N Run on Sunday, we only have to come with some
activities to do on Friday afternoon and evening. A cruise night
ending up at the Drive-In is one possibility. This idea will be
discussed more fully at the June meeting. Roger
reported that the North Dakota Street Rod Assoc. will be holding a
summer tour starting in Grand Forks, traveling through Minot,
Williston. Dickinson, Bismarck and ending in Fargo. Tour dates are
July 24-26. A tour of rod shops is planned for Minot. Roger reported
that there are some really nice shops in Minot. Since
no further official club business was on the agenda, Daryl moved and
Bill seconded a motion to adjourn. Motion carried. After
meeting was adjourned, Casey and Chad Peterson discussed the idea of
a local 1/8 mile drag strip. The proposed site for the track is near
the Civic Center heading towards the Old Tractor Club grounds. There
would be five events per summer. There will be more details at a
future date |
