For those who cannot march; we
have a trailer for them to ride in parades.
Those that ride the trailer do not need to
be in uniform. Just the presence of the
veteran military Shriners is what the
world needs to see to tell them that we
continue to serve.
It will be wonderful to be able to
parade without the fear of the virus.
Maybe by next spring things will settle
down. That will give us time to outfit and
brief new members on our procedures
for parades.

Vintage Wheels
Since the parade in Loudon County
on July 4th, the pandemic has caused the
Vintage Wheels to sit idle. Halloween
fueled our spirits and got our engines
started again.
The day started when the Vintage
Wheels arrived at Fulton High School
for a student body trunk or treat. We
took 500 pieces of candy which was
mostly distributed. All the costumes re-
flected the spirit of Halloween although
the ego of the student in the shark outfit
seemed somewhat inflated. The Vin-
tage Wheels were costumed as Kerbela
Shriners and the Vintage Wheels logo
displayed on several of the cars. The
most disturbing part of the event was
when Allen Mayes came up short in the
eyes of the law.
It was then on to Melton Lake Park
where Amaranth was co-hosting a car
show as a fund raiser for the cure for
diabetes. This was the second year
the car show was held and somewhere
around 200 cars paid the entry fee to be
judged.
Finally, several members of the Unit
went on to the Kerbela Steak Cook Off.
Hot wings and short ribs were being
given away by one of the contestants.
Another contestant had already won
over $100,000 in a steak cook off cham-
pionship and was willing to share many
of his secrets on being successful in
such competitions. Decorations on the
entrees for the ancillary margarita com-
petition included skeletons,bouquets and
pumpkin heads with blinking lights. It
is uncertain whether or not such decora-
tions appeared before or as apparitions
after the judges had sampled the drinks
that were entered.
The end of the year parade season
will soon be upon us and Unit members
are looking forward to parading. If any
Noble wants to ride along with us in a
parade or wants to become a member of
the Unit, please feel free to let us know.
