Camper conversions re- taining their original bod- ies can also be displayed but won’t be judged, while safety dictates every show entrant must have a fire extinguisher and wheel chocks. COVID-19 social distancing protocols will also see Saturday evening’s awards banquet take place on an outdoor patio at the Mohican State Lodge, after which the meet will con- clude in traditional PCS fashion with an awe-inspir- ing light and siren show by the attendees’ ambulances. It goes without saying that PCS Ohio Chap- ter President Ron Dev- ies - whom prospective attendees can e-mail at ron_devies@yahoo.com if they have questions - is excited about hosting the first meet up with old friends after a nearly two- year hiatus of no pro cars or seeing old friends. He also points out Sunday, July 4th need not be at- tendees travel day home: “The legal holiday is Mon- day so go home then. En- joy the hotel’s amenities at the same great rate you had all week and consid- er the Pleasant Hill Ma- rina’s tremendous rental boat fleet across the lake from the lodge; zip-lining at Tree Top Canopy Tours; the restored 19th Centu- ry buildings at Wolf Creek Grist Mill Historic Park; the gabled Gothic archi- tecture of the Oak Hill Cottage built in 1847; or the Bible Walk wax mu- seum where special effects and audio bring The Good Book’s stories to life,” said Devies. PCS Perrysville Meet at- tendees who can come to Ohio a few days early might also want to check out the 2021 Internation- al Station Wagon Club Convention that will take place June 22nd-26th in nearby Canton, OH. ISWC’s founder and pres- ident Chuck Snyder (ces- murf10@gmail.com or 724-586-7187) is a Penn- sylvania PCS member who maintains a pretense- free focus on the driving of tailgate-equipped clas- sic cars to interesting plac- es versus fender polishing in pursuit of trophies; one longtime ISWC member accordingly likes to quip there might be just one can of wax in the entire club! Gregg D. Merksamer is the PCS Publicity and Me- dia Relations Chair. He can be reached at 845-986-6857 or merks62@warwick.net. Continued from Page A20
