The cruise-in Saturday in New Holland was
probably the last vintage car and truck gathering for the year, even
though the weather tried to say otherwise.
|
Cruisers who brought a vehicle for exhibit
were asked to donate an unwrapped new toy for the Marine Corps
Reserves Toys for Tots campaign. |

|
The cruise-in Saturday was hosted by the
New Holland Fire Department, which also hosted a lunch counter in
the firehouse.
|
Benny Roemer, of New Holland, rode in on his 1982
"Rat Bobber," a Honda 250 he had outfitted with a headlight
from a 1960s dirt bike, raised handlebars and a chopped-off back
end. |
|
|
Andrew Berkley, of Mason City, displayed his
father's 1950 Phantom Schwinn bike. His father grew up on a farm
near Lewistown, but later lived in Belvidere. When Andrew's uncle
was a teacher in that town, he rode the bike to his job at the
nearby school.
|
Melissa Davis, New Holland Fire Department
paramedic and wife of fire Chief Todd Davis, served lunch to
cruise-in visitors Saturday, keeping with a small-town tradition of
wearing many hats and doing what needs done.
|
|
|
The pink shirts worn by firefighters and their
family members Saturday display a fire department emblem with a fire
hose looped to resemble the breast cancer research ribbon.
|
Tim and Kathy Merriman, New Holland residents
and owners of Big M Amusements, donated the two-story climbing
amusement "Monkey Business" for the kids at the cruise-in Saturday
afternoon. |
