52nd Annual "Doc's Apple Blossom Meet"

The public is invited to an all-Hudson antique car show and flea market on Sunday, May 10 at the Skyline Caverns, 10334 Stonewall Jackson Hwy, Front Royal, Va., from 8:00 AM to noon. Spectator admission to the show is free, and anyone with a Hudson-produced vehicle is invited to display it there, at no charge.



The show is the concluding event of "Doc's Annual Blossom Meet", a three-day gathering of Hudson, Essex and Terraplane enthusiasts held annually in Front Royal since 1964.



The event gets under way Friday afternoon, May 8, when participants will gather at the Northern Virginia 4H Educational Center just south of Front Royal for a potluck dinner at the Center's outdoor pavilion. Then, on Saturday the 9th, participants will drive their Hudsons to the Apple Blossom Meet, an antique car show that takes place at Jim Barnett Park in Winchester. On Saturday evening the group will meet again at the 4H Center for a banquet. The weekend winds up with the car show at Skyline Caverns on Sunday morning.



The public is also welcome to view the cars at the 4H Center on Friday or Saturday afternoons; a flyer with a full schedule can be found at www.cbc.hetclub.org/, the website of the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, sponsor of the meet.

During the weekend of the meet, up-to-date information will be available via cellphone at (703) 986-8785; that number is only good during the meet.
