Dave Turns 55 With The 55

We all went to the Tropical Treat for Daves birthday. Where else to celebrate that a 50's era drive in, near hanover, known as "The Treat"

This photo I did a different editing on to give it an older look more like the early "60s"

I hate the wires so I edited them out!

Lavender Festival

On Friday, I went to a Lavender Festival in Fairfield, Pa a small town near Gettysburg. I heard of this last year but could not make it. The festival is held 3 days during the prime harvest of lavender. I was mainly there for the chance to photograph something different and beautiful.

They had pick your own lavender, which looked a lot of fun. I was there quite early so it wasn't really full yet. I spotted this lady gathering her lavender and loved the look of her hat!

It is definitely worth visiting again, they had workshops, lectures and such. I just bought myself a lavender plant. There was lots of lavender products for sale along with a variety of arts and crafts. I forgot to mention that is smelled great but I was sleepy the rest of the day! I now want to make Lavender cupcakes!

Besides our 55 Packard there was 6 others, some I knda forgot to take an overall photo of them. ike the first one here. It was a gray 53 Packard

The gray Packard left early and another parked in his place.

35th Annual Gettysburg Region Antique &Classic Auto Show

Last Saturday we spent the day at the Gettysburg Car show that was held at the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds in York Springs, PA

I like the leather straps holding down the hood, there was one holding down the trunk too. Not sure if they were stock or not?
