Jack Roberts Blown 1969 Z 28

Hey Gang on Saturday, November 1, 2008 Minnie, myself and a group of friends, from the Clay County Cruisers, headed out to Maynardville, Tenn. where Gary and Diane England along with Auto Zone, held their Annual Toys for Tots Car Show.

The weather was great and it was a fantastic trip, thru the Mountains of southeastern Ky and northeastern 

Jack Robert’s Blown 1969 Z 28

Jack Roberts' Blown BBC Pro Street was a real crowd pleaser

Tenn. The Leaves were brilliant colors of Red, Orange and Browns, etc. For those whom are not from the mountainous

areas, let me tell you, Fall is the most beautiful time of the Year.

Anyway back to the Car Show. Gary and his wife Diane do a Super job of playing all the Oldies but Goodies Songs as

well as keeping everything interesting. Minnie and I were

having a great time, visiting with old friends and making many new ones and taking pics, when all of a sudden there arose such a commotion from amidst the crowd of hot-rodder's, that, we had to run and see what all the ruckus was about, when lo and behold we saw a Corvette ZO6 coming to a screeching halt, amidst the Merry Hot-rodder's, and upon closer inspection we beheld the most wondrous event, the door flew open and out rolled a jolly, fat little man dressed in a Bright Red Suit with a

white beard, and as all the kids came rushing toward him, we immediately knew it was Jolly Ole Saint Nick aka SANTA CLAUS. As we watched with awe Ole Santa grabbed a nearby rocking chair and immediately the kids started lining up to sit on Santa's Knee and tell him what they wanted for Xmas, alas, such a sight to behold, I was in shock, but as I came to my senses I realized Minnie was shaking me and yelling for me to take some pics of this wondrous event. And in a blink of an eye all the kids had told Santa what they wanted and Santa was back in that Corvette and as he roared off all heard as he shouted 'Merry Christmas to All and to all, have a safe trip home' I was still in shock as all that tire smoke surrounded me and I remember thinking, 'Man that is one Baaaad Corvette' and in a blink of an eye he was gone. I'm just glad there were so many people there with their cars and thankful for all the spectators, and trust me there were a lot, because without all those witnesses, I don't think anyone would believe me, they would probably say smart alec things like 'smoking them left handed cigarettes agin, are ye' . We had a great time and on the way back our little group, consisting of Vernon Lunsford and his wife Seatie, Bill Wells, Dennis Asher, William Hudson, Larry Sizemore and Kenny Albro and his wife Kaye, stopped in Tazewell, Tenn. and visited an old restored Gulf gas station. I was impressed and took several pics for your viewing enjoyment.

In closing I want to say, it looks like the car show season is coming to an end in this part of the country, but we have enjoyed it and are looking forward to doing it again next year. To all our many friends, May God Bless You and Yours form Minnie and Myself. Jack Roberts
