Please consider joining the Stovebolt HQ staff as we support and attend the St. Francis Xavier Church 1st Car show right here in scenic, beautiful and historic Newtowne/Compton (Leonardtown) Maryland! The Knights of Columbus are hoping to make this an annual event.

8 am - 2 pm

St. Francis Xavier Church
21370 Newtowne Neck Rd
Leonardtown, MD 20650

$15 registration fee ($20 after 10 August 24). Awards to top 20, Best of Show, Priest's Choice
Best Motorcycle
50/50 raffle
Food trucks
Music
Etc.

More info at St Frank's web site!

or go directly to the registration form

Should be a lot of fun. And its close to Stovebolt HQ ... I think Peggy can see the church from her office window. We can certainly hear the bell ... wink And a lot of history! St Francis is the oldest Catholic church in continuous use in the English colonies!

So come on out and help us convince the KoC that they need to rename it a car AND TRUCK show!!

So ....

A great day at St Frank's!! Fannin, Rover Dan and Mr. C joined us for a very nice outing at St Francis -- One of the most historic spots in North America (all kidding aside -- it is the birthplace of the "Freedom of Religion" in our Constitution -- Look it up.)

A little rain threatened us at first, but the hearty persevered for a very swell time. Stovebolt.com was proud to sponsored the "Best Truck" trophy. There was some excellent competition as you will see in the photos, but I am pleased with the winner (at least it was a Stovebolt!! There was a gorgeous '74 F-150 and John Vannatta's beautiful Model A pickup that had me worried ...).

Ole Charlie, the Stovebolt Flagship, got a plaque for being in the "Top 20" smile And Rover Dan went home with 2 door prizes!

The Stovebolt display -- spartan because of the rain. I think the Southern Bolters currently have the Stovebolt.com Pop Up ... darn them! Charlie was turned around so Mr. C could look at the trucks instead of the Crape Myrtle tree ...
