Dear friend of the museum,

Happy spring!  Now that the nice weather is upon us we are thinking ahead to some of the great activities that The Golden Age of Trucking Museum has planned for the spring, summer, and fall and into the winter. So save the dates below. All of our events are fun for the entire family and a great excuse to spend time together, and stay close to home.

On April 26th from 11am until 3pm there is a “Saturday Seminar” planned that will be fun for the ladies as well as the gentlemen. The ATEAM, Affiliated Truck Enthusiasts And Modelers, will be displaying some of their creations and discussing their hobby with a question and answer session. At the same time Laura from “Premier Jewelry Designs” will be showcasing jewelry for try-on and purchase and will be offering complimentary gift wrapping. Both events include a luncheon.

Back to school time means that our “Antique and Classic Truck and Car Fest” is just around the corner. This year’s show will be on Sunday, September 7th from 9am until 3pm at Quassy Amusement Park. A complimentary shuttle will be provided all day from Quassy to the truck museum. At Quassy you pay to park and can listen to our DJ Seth Carly, view the gorgeous cars and trucks, and shop at the flea market. Quassy Park will also be open. There will be a slow race and trophies will be awarded. The museum will have reduced admission during the festival. There will be a BBQ, live music, face painting, a clown and balloon animals.

Saturday, October 25th from 11am until 2pm will be our “Harvest Festival”. The rain date will be Sunday, October 26th. Families may take a hay ride to our pumpkin patch and each child may choose a pumpkin and then decorate it. Come in your costume so that you may join in our costume parade. Dimples The Clown will be making balloon shapes for the children to go along with their costumes. Refreshments will also be provided.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be arriving in their antique truck on Sunday, December 7th at 1:00 pm. They will have goodies for the children and cookies and milk will be served. Our player piano will be playing our favorite Christmas carols. Our event is earlier this year so that you may use your photos for your holiday cards.  Don’t forget your camera!

Our events are always free to museum members. The Golden Age of Trucking Museum is a non-profit organization and we appreciate your continued support. Thank you in advance to all of our volunteers who without them none of these wonderful events would be possible. If you would like to become a member or a volunteer please contact the museum.
