On Saturday, August 26, Arlene Diesenhouse and David Steinman will lead
a covered bridges tour and host BBQ , pot luck
Once again, Arlene and David are hosting a BBQ and pot luck at David’s historic house in Waitsfield. They will lead a tour of covered bridges and interesting roads. (See outline of tour below).
Plan is to meet at their house at 11 a.m. Time to schmooze and look over David’s fantastic restored car collection.
Note: David is a nationally known fine-auto restorer. Learn all about his work in this informative link supplied by Marco Lacasse.
We will have lunch around 12:30 and leave for the tour by 2 p.m. (Subject to fine tuning) Dave and Arlene are also working on a couple of interesting places to stop by.
After the tour, everyone is welcome to come back to the house for cocktails and snacks. Bring chairs and your favorite drinks. We’ll advise later on what pot luck items are needed.
