Bow Rotary Car Show

May 19, 2018 — It looked like the entire weekend was going to be a wash-out, with rain all day Saturday and showers Sunday, based on forecasts. But when I arose Saturday, there were streaks of blue in the otherwise overcast sky, and the sun peeked through occasionally. So I decided to head for the Bow Rotary Car Show in Bow, New Hampshire, only a 20-minute drive away, one of the earliest shows of the season around these parts.

When I arrived at the show grounds, clouds had begun to break up and sun was getting stronger. But the number of cars and spectators was below average for this show, no doubt because of the unfavorable weather reports. They missed a good thing. It was sunny and warm throughout the show. Rain was moving up from the south, but they got the whole show in before it arrived.

The Bonny Eagle show in Maine was being held on Sunday, but forecasts were still sticking to their predictions for unsettled weather continuing. This show was almost a two-hour drive away, so I decided not to risk the trip only to be rained out. But Sunday also remained rain-free, so I could have gone. It just goes to show a bad forecast can ruin an event just as easily as actual bad weather.
