Bring A Sunbeam Here

Saturday May 8th is Steam Up day at Rough & Tumble: a living experience where equipment in use when America was a burgeoning industrial and agricultural empire is fired up and running again for a large public following. Everything from tiny to HUGE stationary engines, traction engines, Ag and earth moving equipment, a Shay engine with passenger train rides, and more. There is an early 20th century life style exhibit, a AutoHaus and a variety of other displays.

And of course, our Beams will be on display in the Sunbeam Corral. After all, this is an educational experience. We might as well educate the public about our hobby, too.

• The gate opens at 8 a.m.
• Entry to R&T is $5/person.
• You must present a copy of Rootes Review to the gate keeper to park in the Sunbeam Corral. (Applies to Beams and your private vehicles.) Otherwise you will be banished to parking outside with the other public door bangers. Can’t find your copy? Members go here and print one out! (Read back issues there, too!  You’ll need to log into the members area to do that.)
• A dollar or two donation will be solicited to defray BASH expenses upon your arrival in the Corral.

Lunch is on your own at the Food Court. Local Lancaster County Dutch Country food is offered. We’ll do our best to harness ourselves as a group and eat together at Noon.

Ted Casey will give us a personal tour of the historical association facilities. He will also arrange transportation to local Lancaster County shops and factory outlets for those who aren’t entertained with history and steam.

Tiger Authentication (TAC) is planned. Please preregister. See below.

For those who prefer to arrive Friday and socialize, an evening with a scrumptious all-you-can-eat Rainbow Dinner theater experience is in store for you. Playing is a comedy, “How The Other Half Loves.”

Deadline for $44/person dinner theater group rate is April 23, 2010.
Make checks payable to: Tiger Tom’s and mail to: Tiger Tom, 1924 Black’s Bridge Road, Annville, PA 17003

31st Annual PA BASH
Jim Thorpe, PA
20 May, 2006

bash 2006

Plan to spend a day in the hamlet of Jim Thorpe, previously Mauch Chunk, at the gateway to the Pocono Mountains. Jim Thorpe is an interesting, educational and fun place for us to visit. It’s contribution to American history is legendary. The end (hanging) of the Molly Maguires, the burial site of Jim Thorpe and probably the most influential but least recognized, is Asa Packer. Mr. Packer founded the Lehigh Railroad, Lehigh University and Packer Hospital among other accomplishments. You can’t help but get caught in the town’s history as you walk through it with your “Beamer” smile.

We will stage as a group outside of town at the home of Bruce Quarles. We’ll then caravan into town as a group no later than 11:30AM, stopping by the Jim Thrope memorial for group photos, then on to special parking arranged for Sunbeam’s at the train station. We’ll be the center of attention in the town for the day. Red cars in back row, Green and others in front. We’ll have a very hearty buffet lunch at 1:00 PM and a short meeting at the Molly Maguires pub. No hangings, please. We’ll then assemble in small groups and begin a walking tour to a variety of historical sites and participate in the town’s annual celebration of the famous Olympian Jim Thorpe’s birthday with a parade, bands, a variety of activities. Or just hang around the Beams and the train station. For those who want, we will meet again for dinner (your own $). Overnight lodging is available for those desiring to stay overnight. There will be a party and swimming at Quarles’ for those who desire to stay for the evening.

The walking tour includes visits to the Asa Packer mansion, The Old Jail were Molly Maguires were incarcerated before being hung, the Mauch Chunk Museum and model train and a tranquil walk along Stone row. There is an additional charge per person of $3.00 for children up to $5.00 for adults at the museums and $7.00 at the Mansion. This town sees $ signs, but it’s worth it.

Buffet includes your choice of Beef Teriyaki, Chicken Marsalla, Baked Stuffed Shells, Salad, Rice, Veggies, Rolls, Dessert, Coffee, Tea, Soda and Water.

The BASH cost of $16.00 per person (11 and under, free) includes the buffet and refreshments throughout the day and evening. There is a $3.00 parking fee for each Sunbeam.

Preregistration requested to assure adequate food at buffet. Please send checks payable to,
Allan Bruce Quarles, 116 Panther Run Road, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229.
Include amount of $16.00 per person and $3.00 for each Sunbeam.
