The 6 attached photos have been "compressed" down to 112 KB total size, to accomodate dial-up modem people. Larger versions of these photos and 11 more can be viewed on the Track2 DanceNet Bloom Car Show web page ( http://www.track2.com/dance/photos/070810bloom.car.show/ ).
Photo 1 - Loose Ties, The Nightclub:
Normally we don't have the Loose Ties (LooseTies.com) volunteer-operated, traveling model railroad display -- PLUS dancers, shown in the same photograph. But in this photo we do. There was a "Prom Night" dance Friday night starting at 8 pm, and this photo shows some of the dancers, with the train layout visible in the background.
Photo 2 - Cindy Williams:
This next photo shows visiting VIP and television star Cindy Williams, who played Shirley on the TV show Laverne and Shirley. Cindy insisted on having her photo taken with Sunbury's well-known model railroading star , Al Bubb, who is shown behind her.
Photo 3 - Dancers:
Photo 4 - Dancing:
This photo shows some dancers from the area, from left to right. Sitting front: Allen "Cook" & Sharon Davis; Standing rear: Lester & Laura Bussom, Cindy and Bill Mahoney.
This photo shows another part of the dance floor.
The following info I got 2nd hand, so I hope that I'm not misleading you: The couple in the right rear (red skirt) Lester & Laura Bussom were selected the "Prom King & Queen", and the couple on the left rear (gray dress) Keith & Cindy Orndorf were selected the runner up couple.
Photo 5 - Flame Thrower video:
This image is taken from an MPG movie I took using my Sony still camera's "movie mode" on Saturday night on the fairgrounds speedway. They had what they call a "flame thrower exhibition", using cars modified so they can shoot flames out their exhaust pipes. I never knew that cars like this existed. (It seems like this might be a useful feature to have, to discourage tailgaters.)
If you have a broadband connection and can play an MPG movie, there are several short clips in the Flamethrower Directory ( http://www.track2.com/video/mpegs/0708flamethrowerCars/ ) (you need Apple's free Quicktime Player ).
Photo 6 - Dead Van:
This may end up being a "obituary photo". It shows the Loose Ties van (previously a Culligan water van). This van has been used to transport all the bazillion pieces necessary to assemble the modular railroad layout, to towns all over North Central Pa. Unfortunately the van's motor apparently died on the trip from Northumberland over to Bloomsburg.
This van had been purchased, operated, and maintained, all at the personal expense of the Loose Ties President Jeff Johnstonbaugh of Northumberland. Unfortunately the cost to repair the motor may exceed the value of the van. The engine still runs, but it knocks and blows lots of blue smoke. So if any of you know anyone who does really inexpensive truck REPAIRS, we'd probably like to know their names.
