Showers set up the evening cruise, and a dandy cruise it was. The
group headed out at 5:30 sharp for the Hebert’s Candy Mansion. My
wife and I were running a couple of minutes late and missed the
departure of the cruise looking for our daughter. We found my
daughter and were getting ready to head out when Frank Wrenick
appeared about 5:33 and asked, “where are they lining up for the
cruise?” We pointed to the exit of the Host Hotel where the last
of the Ramblers were rounding the corner. “Oh” Frank said, “you
guys are prompt.” We grabbed Frank, packed him in my Ambassador,
and hurried to catch the pack.
Some 60 plus
Rambler’s, AMC’s and Nash’s lined up and cruised the streets of
Sturbridge to the Candy Mansion. There was a very large grassy
field available for the cars to park across the street from the
mansion. The AMC cars filled more than ¾ of the
area. When we arrived Bob Bobsworth was on the scene playing 60’s
and 70’s music, along with Uncle Jay who was cooking up some good
BBQ. Because of the large turn out a very long line formed at
Uncle Jay’s, but that was alright, it gave everyone a chance to talk
while waiting for their food and joke. That’s right joke,
turns out not only does Uncle Jay cook up a mean chili, he also has a
great personality. He really worked the crowd, and everyone
seemed to enjoy him. Hebert’s had a nice picnic area set up with
tables and chairs to eat on. Once dinner was finished it was off
to Hebert’s to make a Sundae, or to buy some of their yummy chocolates
and candy, or better yet both. Everyone seemed to have a good
time, and Hebert’s must have liked us too. The 4 Season’s have
been invited back next year for a cruise during their 7th
annual Rambler Regional!
After getting our
fill of food we wandered around, looked at the cars, and chatted with
the owners. Before long, it was 9:00, time to head back and get
ready for the “Really Big Shoe” as Ed Sullivan would say.
