100-plus Models T Fords visit Kenton Sept. 4
Kenton will be visited by 100 plus Model T Fords ranging in model year from 1910 to 1927 on Sunday, Sept. 4.
“The All Ohio Model T Jamboree is made up of model T clubs from all over Ohio and seven different states coming together touring and driving their cars” said Jack Putnam of Bluffton, event organizer.
“This is the 28th Annual Jamboree,” said Putman, every year it rotates to a different community in Ohio.
This year the group will be staying in Findlay on Friday, traveling to Grand Rapids, on Saturday and coming to Kenton on Sunday. They will leave Findlay around 9:30 a.m. make a stop in Mt. Blanchard and travel State Route 53 into Kenton. They have two stops scheduled in Kenton, first is Brim’s Imports arriving around 11 a.m. and second is Hardin County Historical Museum.
Tom Brim encourages anyone interested in seeing over one hundred Model T Fords to stop down at Brim’s and check them out. The Hardin County Historical Museum will be open to the public from 12noon to 2:00 p.m. or until the last person leaves.
The two hundred plus people expected Sunday will be exploring Kenton and the surrounding communities. The Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance has put together welcome packets that includes brochures, maps and information on restaurant and shopping in Kenton and Hardin County.
“ The group will be on their own for lunch, dining at restaurants mainly in Kenton” said Putman. Putman recommends for retail stores, “if you are open Sunday make sure you have an open sign out.”
