How to Get a Ford

"Take a little gasoline,
and get a little oil.
Take a little wire,
and make a little coil.
Get a little piece of tin,
and get a little board.
Put them together,
and you have a little Ford."


Look who stopped by Rosario Resort yesterday – The Three Rivers Model T Club for the Tri-Cities. They look right at home in front of the Moran Mansion!

Horse Chestnut R.I.P.

It is with great sadness to report that the Horse Chestnut Tree in the Mansion Circle entrance fell over this past week. Combine 80 years, branches full of leaves and full grown chestnuts, add weight from rainwater and wind from the east against a mostly rotted trunk and you unfortunately get a tree on the ground. Several local craftsman gathered up the wood for future bowls and musical instruments!
