The third
annual Greater Ozarks All British Motoring
Club’s All British Car and Cycle Show is now
in the record books. What a record! There were
101 registered cars displayed around the Carthage
Square on Saturday, July 27th. The show took
place around the inside of the square as the
local merchants held their annual sidewalk sale.
We had guests in our town from
6 states, with one group coming over 600 miles
one way, to attend the car show. This year there
were 17 individual clubs represented and 4
national clubs. There are three all British type
of car shows that take place yearly in the state
of Missouri. St.sa Louis and Kansas City have
held their shows for many years. This was our
third show and I’m glad to say that our show
has grown every year with the first year having
less than 50 cars, the second having around 70
cars, and this year going over 100 cars and
cycles.
Saying there were 101 cars does
not mean there were only a 100 extra people in
town. Most of the people that come to our show
bring the entire family. It would be safe to say
the show brought at least 400 people into our
town. Some came in on Thursday, while most
arrived on Friday and many stayed through Sunday
evening. They help our economy by coming to
Carthage.
One of the things I hear over
and over is how friendly our town is. Thank you
for making our guests feel that they are wanted
and welcome here.
Many local merchants helped by
donating door prizes to be awarded to show
participants. I would like to thank: The Front
Page, Carthage Deli, Main Street Mercantile,
Mimi’s Candles and Gifts, Carthage Good
Neighbor, From the Heart Craft Mall, Wal-Mart
Tire and Lube, Richardson’s Street Wireless,
Carthage Furniture Sales and Imports, Hawkins
Title, Carthage Eye Care, Abbey Title, Jasper
County Title, Encore, Uptown Downtown, Carthage
Hardware, Main Street Carthage, 2 Dye 4,
Southwest Agency, Mark Henry-Investment Centers
of America, Young’s Terrific T’s, Bees
Old Fashioned, Carthage Chamber of Commerce,
Southern Uniform, Kendrick Place, and Dry Gulch.
I hope to have the Fourth
Annual show on the square next year for the
sidewalk sale. Space is the biggest issue to
keeping the show in Carthage. We used all the
space allotted to us this year and would probably
need more for next year. That is an issue I hope
to work around, as I hope to keep the show in
Carthage for many years to come.
Thank you Carthage,
David Thorn, Show Chairman
ART CAMP ENDS
WITH A BANG!
July 22 through August 3 was
artCamp for kids ages eight to fourteen. We had
an excellent turn out. Most classes were full.
The classes offered this year were clay,
Chinese/Japanese Art and Culture, Kite Making,
Create a Book, Collage, Mosaic Tile, Tye Dye,
Candle Making, Masks, and Painting. It has been
fun being here and watching the kids and their
evolving projects. They have been listening to
haiku poetry, making three dimensional
dragons’ heads, fish prints, and have been
building and decorating kites. They brought
lunches and ate under the shade trees or on the
porch. In the afternoon they were ready to return
home with their creations.
The teachers for this year were
Ann-Marie Gailey of Joplin, Randy Wright of
Joplin, Riki Lipe of Springfield and Tom Jones of
Carthage.
A big heartfelt THANKS to Jack
Hendrickson, Curt Anderson, Justin Wallace and
the people at Infinity Lighting for the light
bulbs for our gallery. We really appreciate it.
Janet Carpenter, a Kansas City
artist, is showing her work at Shellie’s
located at 207 West Third.
Shellie’s is a satellite
gallery of artCentral. The work on display there
features scenes from places the artist has lived
or has visited. She works primarily in oil,
colored pencil and graphite to capture buildings
or landscapes.
If you haven’t seen this
month’s exhibit at the Hyde House gallery
stop by and see the Membership Show. This show
features artwork from various members of
artCentral and includes a variety of media such
as colored pencil, pastel, oil painting,
alabaster carving, limestone, wood, raku,
stoneware, scratchboard, acrylic, watercolor, and
graphite pencil.
If you notice a difference in
this week’s column, it’s because it is
written by Lee, assistant to Robin. She’s
still here, attempting to train me.
