Barrington V-8 Cookout and Ford/Mercury Cruise Night

By Ken Bounds

On July 15, Stan and JoAnne Stack were our gracious hosts for a terrific cookout at their Barrington home.  The cold drinks and huge, delicious spread of food and desserts were outstanding – no one could have left hungry.  Somewhere between 30 and 40 V-8ers, friends and guests attended.  After dinner, we all cruised over in our V-8s and other classics to the Barrington Cruise Night featuring the Ford and Mercury brands.  At the end of the night, Stan Stack was the proud winner of the People’s Choice Award for his ’53 Tudor.  The V-8 Club sends a big “Thank You” to Stan and JoAnne for your hospitality. 

In addition to many guests, V-8ers attending included our hosts Stan & JoAnne, John Bauer, Ron & Arlene Blum, Ken Bounds, Ron Dopke, John & Robin Emmering, Scott Gilday, Earl & Gene Heintz, Ernie Herzog, Frank Koeder, Joe Kozmic, John McCarthy, Jack & Jean Nikolich, Tom O’Donnell, Steve O’Neill, Dan Pudelek, Len & Irene Vinyard with Barb Pope.  My apologies if I missed anyone.
