After I left the Studebaker National Meet in South Bend on May 6th, I needed to kill a day before meeting a couple of old Army buddies in Iowa. So when I stopped at the roadside rest in Iowa on May 7th, I asked the lady "what can I do or see to kill a day". She gave me a small newspaper telling about the Amana Colonies, and mentioned that the Maipole Festival was May 6th and 7th. The 6th had a parade, which I had missed, but at least I got to see the Maipole Dancers and visit all 7 colonies.
I was just reading the newspaper that gives the history of Amana and a schedule of activities for the year. I see they have listed August 19th as Model A Day, and say nearly 90 Model A Fords will be on display on Amana's Main Street as the Hawkeye A Model A Ford Club rolls into town. Wish this wasn't 300 miles away from me. Of course, if I could meet the gal in the blue dress holding the red ribbon, it would be well worth the trip back.
