No “Wheels” Show would be complete without “goodie bags”. Pictures below are members of the WFPCR Executive Committee at President Gilbert Seibel’s garage preparing the Haggarty bags in assembly line fashion.

     

WFPCR’s first “Wheels” show was held at The Union Mills Homestead, Westminster, MD on September 6, 2009. Not only was the weather outstanding but the location was breathtaking.

Preparation, organization and wonderful caring individuals are needed to put on a successful “Wheels” Show. Below are some pictures of the dedicated individuals that made September 6, 2009 a memorable day for all.

To Kay Seibel, WFPCR's Secretary, a special thanks for her help at the registration booth, sending out thank you letters to our sponsors, for creating spread sheets related to the "Wheels Show', and for anything else I may have overlooked. The show could not have gone on without Kaye's supreme efforts!

Wheels began arriving at the Homestead around 9a.m. Each wheel that was to be part of the show was positioned in front of the Grist Mill water wheel. Pictures were taken of each entry and every entrant was to receive a WFPCR picture frame with a picture of his/her own entry.
          

Pictured below are Carol Seibel and Billy Seibel, wife and son of WFPCR’s 2nd Vice President William Van Seibel. Carol and Billy set the bar high, taking all the “Wheel’s” pictures, printing, putting the “Wheel’s” pictures into WFPCR,s Prostate Cancer (PC) picture frames ™, and delivering the finished frames to their rightful owners.  WFPCR’s  PC picture frames were THE big hit at the show.

This year, the Ravens had more nominees than ever before. Though Gilbert Seibel did not receive one of the top three awards, the Ravens awarded Gilbert G.
