$Autumn Trails Parade and Drive \u2013 Winnsboro, TX$

Once again, Carolee and I will be leading the fall drive to Winnsboro, TX for the 66th Annual Autumn Trails Event which is an annual month-long event for the town. Saturday the 26th is for Antique Cars that begins with a parade into downtown. It will be a fun day with our club participating in the parade and the folks love us because we are one of two clubs that have candy for the kids. The other club is the Model A Club. After the parade we will have lunch in Winnsboro, at The Barrel House Bar & Grill, 501 E Broadway, which is near downtown Winnsboro. The menu has many traditional items on the menu, and it is a new restaurant that we think you will enjoy. Just remember to bring candy, lots of candy to throw out to the kids on the parade route. This has been a lot of fun for our club in the past; you won’t believe all of the cars especially the Model A’s and the kids on the parade route are the most fun of all.
Meet for check-in at 8:00 AM at the QuickTrip gas station at 1400 E. Joe Ramsey Blvd, Greenville, TX. (It is at the southeast corner of HYW 69 and I-30 East in Greenville). If anyone is lost call Ron Seifert’s cell phone at 972-824-0464.
We will leave at 8:15 AM for Winnsboro. It is a 55-mile drive from Greenville, and we form up for the parade in Winnsboro at 9:45 AM on highway 11 leading into Winnsboro. It is important if we want to stay together to be there on time. We must leave at 8:15 AM!
After lunch you will be free to return home on your own schedule.
The cost for the event/drive will be $10 per car, payable online when you register for the event.
Don’t worry about not having an antique or classic car they welcome the MB Club participation. For those with convertibles or antique restorations it will be a fun place to show your car and you can practice your special Royal hand wave for the crowd. Put your section magnetic sign on your cars for the event if you have them.
We are looking for a great turnout and this time of year should give us great driving weather and a nice day for a fall drive.
