2009 Rivers, Roads & Rhythms CARavan

The Spirit Region has successfully completed it’s third CARavan, the Rivers, Roads & Rhythms CARavan held in September 2009.

There were 53 Classics and 119 people who began the CARavan with us in Memphis.

We had 17 first time Classics begin the CARavan and 11 first time CARavaneers with us.  Only 3 Classics did not finish due to Mechanical type problems.

We tried hard to have a variety of activities on the agenda to keep the cost down. Our objective was  to do things that would be different and to this end we believe that we accomplished all of our goals.

In spite of the poor weather we believe that the CARavan was successful and everyone had a good time.

A 1937 Bentley Coupe owned by Lawrence Smith won the Crossett Award for the Best Classic.

The Deutsch Trophy for the Most Helpful was awarded to George Randall.

The Dudney Trophy for the Best-Prepared Classic was not awarded to anyone as no names were turned in.

We thank all of the people who came with us and appreciate all of the hard work that our committee did to make this CARavan a success.
