18 antique cars encircled the driveway at Aaron Manor in Chester on September 10th. The residents, staff and 26 club members enjoyed the beautiful weather, the root b**r floats, the popcorn, and, of course, viewing the cars. Thank you to all who attended and thank you to Aaron Manor for hosting and serving the treats.

Herve and Barb Gelinas and the Jaguar Club of Southern New England invited Belltown members to their annual picnic at Devil’s Hopyard State Park. If you haven’t had the opportunity to attend, you have missed good food, enjoyable conversation, and a chance to ride through the park in the cars of those attending. Thank you, JCSNE!

Like a kid in a candy store…that is how one spectator described his day at the 59th Annual Belltown Vintage Motor Car Meet.The variety, quality, and number of cars on the show field amazed the many car enthusiasts in attendance. Both the show and the flea market offered a day-long excursion down memory lane. Thanks to all the participants who brought their vehicles and automotive memorabilia to display and to the East Haddam Volunteer Fire Department for EMT coverage. Thanks also to the many volunteers who worked tirelessly to create another memorable show

All Aboard! It was a beautiful day to view and enjoy trains at a private train-lovers paradise. Thanks to Royals’ Garage and the Litchfield Hills Historical Automobile Club for arranging the event including a delicious picnic. From massive intricate models to an amazing tour through the woods on ride-on cars, we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon of trains in the scenic hills. A special thanks to our hosts for sharing their collections and to Scott Macgregor for making this day available to Belltown members.
