John M Studebaker Wheelbarrow Races on Saturday 6/14

[Pat Dilling]

In conjunction with the Wheelbarrow races, we are planning on having 6 or 7 Studebakers on display at the Eldorado County Fair in Placerville, CA. Placerville is excited about having us there and the local paper has already run a feature article about Studebakers Cruisin' into the Fair. Looking forward to a fun day in one of the places where it all began! Here is a picture of a different sort of "Racing Studebaker"

The Sequoia Chapter participated in the festivities at least in '70 and '71. Bob Peterson and I pulled our travel trailers to Placerville and camped out both times. Some members participated in the wheelbarrow race. One poor soul loaded his wheelbarrow with about three times the weight required, but he still made it. Great fun, great small town event. Very well worth attending. I still remember the log rolling, the chopping logs between their feet, the two-man sawing contests and more.
