Setting record straight

Dear Editor:

I read the article on page 32 of Aug. 25 issue on the car show at the Wellington County Museum and Archives.

The article states the show “was started by local car clubs and enthusiasts who just showed up. Eventually the museum took it over.” This is not accurate

It was started by one club – Historical Automobile Society of Canada, Central Region – and organized by “yours truly”. They did not “just show up.”

I organized it for several years and turned it over to the museum when attendance declined. I continued to organize the parade that started at the sportplex, went through Fergus, over to Elora and back to the museum. The museum decided to end the parade (some believed I quit).
