Louisville Labor Day Parade - Sept. 6
The 85th annual Louisville Labor Day Parade will be held on Monday, September 6th. The parade kicks off at 10:00am and will take a different route this year.
Due to the temporary closure of Main Street, the parade route will run along Pine Street, starting at Via Appia and ending at Hoover Avenue. Following the Labor Day parade, the Ewing's will lead a caravan on a short drive through town to their house, where they will be hosting a barbeque picnic lunch. The club will be providing burgers, hot-dogs and drinks, but please be sure to bring a side-dish to share!
To sign-up contact John Gonder by email at John.gonder@gonderpr.com or call 303-949-6890; or contact Dan Ewing at Dan.Ewing@comcast.net or call 303-956-6261. Please let us know if you’re coming to the parade, barbecue, or both. The barbecue is being paid for by the club, but we need a count of people beforehand.

Sonic Sundae Sunday (#1)
By Mike Laurita
What a great day for the first Sonic Sundae Sunday of the season. With a temperature of 94 degrees the cold drinks and ice cream were flowing. Some even ordered food! We had 12 Model A's and 25+ people in attendance. It was a great time to spend visiting with everyone who was there.
Hoping to see many more of you at the next Sonic Sundae Sunday on August 8th at 18501 E Hampden Ave (Hampden Ave and Tower Rd).

Friends and Fords at the Fort
On July 11th, many Model As from the Model A Ford Club of Colorado took part in the Friends and Fords at the Fort car show and festival in Fort Logan, Colorado. This year's event was special because it marked the 75th anniversary of Fort Logan's decommissioning in 1946.
We were joined by other Ford-based car clubs from around the state of Colorado at the show, including:
- The Early Ford V8 Club
- Model T Ford Club of Colorado
- Rocky Mountain Model A Ford Club

A Tour to Summit County

|
On Wednesday, July 7th, a group of Model As and their owners (some of whom just returned home from the MAFCA National Tour in New Hampshire just a few days prior), departed Denver, bound for Summit County, Colorado. This overnight trip into the mountains took the group to the towns of Breckenridge and Georgetown, as well as to other attractions along the way. The group returned to Denver on Friday, July 9th.
Thank you to George and Kay Wieder for leading this tour! Like what you see? Be sure to check back for more information on an upcoming High-Country Regional Tour, scheduled for 2023! |
Celebrating July 4th in Park Hill
To celebrate the 245th birthday of our nation, several cars from the Model A Ford Club of Colorado participated in the July 4th parade in the Park Hill neighborhood of Denver. This event was one of the first parades that our club has been able to have since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are looking forward to driving in more parades throughout 2021!
A special Thank You to Shaul Gabbay (one of our newer members) to coordinating this event!

Happy 62nd Birthday to MAFCC!
On Sunday, June 6th, several Model A Fords gathered for a short tour through the Cherry Hills Village neighborhoods and the Denver Tech Center that culminated in our annual club picnic. We hold this event every year in the month of June to celebrate the anniversary of the club's creation in 1959. Once we arrived at the destination, we were treated to self-run games, door prizes, and the opportunity to gather and socialize in a way that reminded us of events prior to the Pandemic. Thank you to Suzanne Sarasin for finding a venue and to the 2021 MAFCC board members for setting up this event! |
