SCRAPBOOK

A new idea for deaners.net: an album of email pictures that viewers send in! I’m so happy I thought of this!

Rebel Rebel store I was unable to get a ride to the car show this year.  I put some car show winners’ names on the rock lasso page. Daddy-Os Fashion Show
where
my camera malfunctioned.
Coming in November!

I’m working on a fresh list of fan’s websites.

Well, Justine, visiting from France, would have come to the festival if she had stayed until September. She had to go back. though. Our two granddaughters were delighted with her.

image Here’s the Fairmount Historical Museum, the sponsor of the September James Dean festival. It’s located a block east of the downtown traffic light, at 203 East Washington Street. Link is below.

image  Loads and loads of cars all weekend.  The awards are presented Sunday afternoon, after lunch.  Come to our car show if you have never been to one, or if you have been to one!  Heavenly. And here’s Joe Bailon, inventor of Candy Apple Red car paint, signing autographs.  Different celebrities show up each year.

image Cars in every color of the rainbow, and more! The Mercurys have a special area just inside the main gate to the park.  (Free admission, of course.)  We call it the Mercury Corral. Could call it Mercury Heaven.

image At the cemetery after a Memorial Service a few years ago.  Remember, it is always on September 30th every year, at Back Creek Friends Meeting.  Breakfast before the service.  Smaller crowds than on the Festival Weekend.  A great get-together with humor as well as sadness.

So you think you can dance?  We’d be tickled to see you.  Sign up at the main stage downtown on Saturday evening. It’s free.  What’s to lose?  You could win a trophy and bragging rights.
