Who knew? There are "Hearse Clubs". Noticed something going on at Powell Park and when Rick and I went to investigate we discovered it was a meeting of a Hearse Club.
 |
| The guy we talked to, who was setting up at a tent and getting things organized, said "Well there are corvette clubs and jeep clubs". Good point. |
 |
| So we came back later in the day to take a look. |
 |
| It was a joint meeting of hearses, hot rods and sponsored by the Arbour (thus the hot dogs) |
 |
| This one is actually an ambulance |
 |
| maybe they don't have their own club. |
 |
| Some needed some work |
 |
| Some had been lovingly restored with plush interiors and velvet curtains |
 |
| or custom paint jobs. |
 |
| Many of the participants wore black, as if attending a funeral. |
 |
| There was a macabre, Halloween feel to it, |
 |
| crossed with a car show |
 |
| and a lot of humour thrown in. |
 |
| The hot rod section was more of the conventional car show ilk. Fewer of them than the organizers had anticipated due to the stormy weather. |
 |
| Some of them |
 |
| got into the theme. |
 |
| We stayed for the trophies (repurposed with hot wheels attached to the top) then got home just before another storm hit. |
 |
| The next day, the dead pine on the bank was cut down |
 |
| and I anxiously watched them |
 |
| take off dead limbs overhanging the back lawn and the driveway. |
