  The Pava’s Tour, Barbecue and Ice Cream Social

In what has become an annual event on Sunday June 9, Patricia and I invited
members of the local chapters of the Horseless Carriage, Model T and Model A
Clubs for a tour followed by a barbecue and ice cream social in our orchard and
vineyard.

                              This year’s tour route was approximately 60 miles, traveling east from
Coffee and snack stop at Camp Cameron Park through the Gold Rush towns of El Dorado and Diamond
Richardson.                   Springs and then Pleasant Valley. Next we headed south, crossing the
                              Cosumnes River three times before reaching the Shenandoah Valley, heart
                              of the Amador wine country. Some tour participants stopped at a winery or
                              two – while others continued through the quaint town of Plymouth, heading
                              south on Old Sacramento Road and then north on Latrobe Road, crossing
                              the rapidly running river a final time before arriving at the Pava’s home.
                              The weather was perfect and the back roads very lightly traveled, offering
                              spectacular serene views.

Antique cars parked in the orchard and
vineyard as tour participants were greeted
with ice cold Sangria. As participants
socialized, the barbecue was lit and lunch
served.

                                        Simultaneously, Hangtown A’s member Bill
                                        Nixon fired up his Model T powered ice
                                        cream maker to the delight of all who
                                        watched and later enjoyed this special treat.
                                        Guests were able to create their own Ice
                                        Cream Sundae with chocolate or caramel
                                        sauce, cherries and whipped cream.

the warm afternoon sun.

                 We will do it again next year – the tentative date is June 14, 2020.

                       1915 HUDSON IN ORANGEVALE TOWN PARADE
                                                By: Sue Hill

On June 1, 2019, Bob and Helen Hopkins drove their 104 year old Hudson in the Pow Wow Day’s parade in
Orangevale, the former name of the parade. It is now called the Orangevale Town Fair Parade. They helped
represent the Orangevale Woman’s Club in which I am a member. Tina Machua of television’s Good Day
was Grand Marshall and Sue Frost, Sacramento County Supervisor District 4 rode in Rio Linda’s first fire
truck, driven by Terry Barnes. The weather was perfect for the parade. It was good to see old No. 1 in the
parade. As many of you know, members of the NCRG were responsible for getting old No. 1 restored;
namely, Les Crane and Dick Mitchell. NCRG members also helped with the restoration back in the day.
NCRG continues to help the Rio Linda community by attending fund raisers to get engine No. 2 back on the
road. Our way of giving back to the communities in which we live.

                                                       Supervisor Sue Frost with veterans of
                                                       all branches of the US military.
