Don’t feel you are coming late to the party in Falls Village CT. It’s been going on for over 275 years as a town and thousands of years before that with Natives along the Housatonic River from below Kent to Town of Canaan/ Falls Village and Stockbridge MA, called The Berkshire Path. Now in modern times there are still echoes of the past, particularly the Ames Iron Works which helped significantly in winning the war that shaped this country’s identity.
Now it’s time to see where the wheels of time have gotten us, and it’s easy enough to find the car enthusiasts and wonderful people who pursue life and their dreams with passion and a bit of ol’ fashioned hard work and steadfast care for not only cars but their communities. The Falls Village Car Show benefits the Falls Village Fire Department whose new digs are located just south of the town center (and near Housatonic Valley Regional High School) on Route 7 which also follows the river.
Thanks for showing up at one of these special events and for being part of your community and wider circles in positive, meaningful ways. Kudos to all involved in such endeavors of running a town, school, rescue groups, support and school resources and much more. It all adds up to a winning team.
With a moment to remember those who have journeyed on before us. Each had a special contribution to their families and wider circles, as we each do..and hopefully can be remembered in a positive light with great appreciaton whether parent, child, sibling, friend or other person that we may find ourselves moved to reflect upon warmly.
The greater mysteries in life are part of the daily comings and goings, the bigger hopes and dreams so keeping an caring heart and mind as a way of conducting ourselves can help us all stay on track and enjoy the current journey of life we share about town and on the road, over the years and when we may have a heavy load.
Let’s not forget our friends and others in times of trouble or need. Likely fixing a flat or polishing something that had rusted, we can all pitch in and appreciate the magic of ingenuity, vision, modern mechanics and much more. For now it’s time to rest up (coming near midnight for this country soul) and enjoy the collective efforts of many coming from far and wide to show their cars and talents with pride! Applause, applause….Kudos all around.
