Antique Car Parade this weekend

This weekend is the 50th annual Stowe Antique Car Parade & Rally. The cars will begin arriving Thursday, gather at Nichols Field Friday and hold the parade Saturday. Over 1000 cars will be in the parade including (apparently) the car Ed Sachs raced from the pole in the 1961 Indy 500 and in which he finished 2nd. Rumor says a 1962 car that AJ Foyt raced at Indy will also be present but I am not sure.

On Sunday all the cars are lined up by class at Nichols Field at 9AM for judging and about 1-2PM the winner of Best of Show will be announced and displayed.

If you have ever liked looking at old cars you need to be in Stowe on Saturday & Sunday.

Stowe's Famous Recreation Path

Here in Stowe, it's known simply as "The Rec Path" and if you haven't explored it yet you will want to put it on your list of things to do in any season. The nearly six mile path starts out above Top Notch and continues through woods and farm fields, eventually crossing the Mountain Road and beyond until it ends behind the church in Stowe Village.

There are plenty of Stowe businesses along the way, including Gracie's Restaurant and the Rusty Nail, where you can enjoy lunch or dinner before finishing your stroll or bike ride.

My most recent trip along the path started at the top, where I was dropped off and ended at the Main Street Market & Deli, where I enjoyed a delicious homemade muffin and a cup of steaming coffee as my reward.

Dogs are allowed, as are bikes, which are easily rented at several locations in Stowe.

Happy Stowe Vacation!
