I called The Kern County Government last Friday - they have limited staff thru May of 2021 due to COVID.

Mr. Towe owned over (300) cars - mostly Fords. And of course Early V-8 Engines 😉 His collection started with a 1923 Model T Roadster purchased in 1954 and restored by him. His favorite Ford was the 1914 Model Touring because that was the year he was born 👍 FJ 942F0554-80A6-4AD2-B497-CFA3F34CAF17.jpe...

Wrong- the Governor (who has no power over the citizens) probably advised folks to limit the number of people in large gatherings (probably even placed a number on it).

FYI- no state Governor or the President has the authority to cancel this swap meet (or any others). If this meet is canceled it will be due to the organizers deciding not to have it.

I just called the Fairgrounds Office. That is the facility hosting the meet. Last year they were forced to close for two months due to an order by the Governor of Oklahoma.

Mr. Towe put his engineering skills to use for several aircraft companies during the war years designing parts. After the war he returned to Iowa to farm. He sold the farm and bought his first bank in Dupree, South Dakota in 1950. He bought his first bank in Montana in 1954. From there - he grew his...

Friday found me in Eugene, Oregon picking up some engines donated to a museum. As it turns out - these were no ordinary engines. The kind gentleman was no ordinary man. That led to discovery of a connection between Edward Towe & Stan Howe 😉 By all accounts - Edward Towe was one helluva guy. Born in ...
