organize the event: Dan Stephans for his presentation, Lee Stock
for organizing the car show, Troop 514 and Friends of the EFPL
for refreshments, and representatives of the committee to complete
restoration work of the Antes Cabin. Ray Anderson of the
Evansville Parks was very responsive to our requests. Creekside
Place provided a microphone and speakers, Larson Acres supplied
chairs and a table, and Steve Ehle photographed the event and
provided editorial assistance.
Finally, a special thank-you to the car owners who displayed their
cars and the many volunteers who served as docents and helpers at
the Museum, Antes Cabin and Barn Shelter.
