After the resounding success of our Wrapped in St Marys event, it’s wonderful to relive it through the many photographs that were taken.
Editing and uploading them is a mammoth task due to the sheer numbers of images.
However, I’m making good progress, and you can now enjoy the event virtually here …
Enjoy!

2013 program
It’s building up to be a wonderful Wrapped in St Marys event this year!
A number of businesses and community organisations are participating – more than in 2012, which is great.
Some have even offered discounts on presentation of the program!
Street art, exibitions, the annual car show and more are on offer.
AND the latest news is that there will be a shuttle bus service around the streets, thanks to Community Transport Services Tasmania. Great for anyone who isn’t as mobile as they would like to be!
The program also includes details about where to eat, where to stay and even where to go to church on Sunday.
Time to start making plans to come and stay for a great weekend! And don’t forget your winter woollies …

funding?
i’ve been silent for a while, mainly because we’re waiting on some important news
recently we were encouraged to apply for funding to our local council so we could make wrapped in st marys an annual event
after filling in the application we’ve been told by a council officer that our application has been approved in principle
hooray – this is fantastic news!
the council meeting is on monday 17 december – i can’t wait to hear what their final decision is …
1949 ford anglia tourer
Ian Summers is a collector and restorer of classic cars, especially the British variety.
He is also one of the St. Marys Cranks and Tinkerers group which organised the car show during the Wrapped in St Marys weekend.
The Anglia was not part of the car show this year, but it was parked in the street for the day and attracted quite a lot of attention from visitors to the town.
Here is a side view with the roof folded down –
a view of the front –
another side view with the roof up (it is raining, after all) –
and a back view –
This Anglia has an 8-horsepower engine, and used to be driven every day until it was semi-retired out of respect for its age.
Ian even drove it up to the top of Mt. Barrow once, which is quite a feat for such a little engine!
This post would not be complete without a photo of the man himself, so here he is at the car show with a couple of ex-students (he was a teacher in a former life) –

people
What would any event be without the people? Visitors, volunteers, participants … we couldn’t do without them.
Here is a selection of VIP’s, including 1 or 2 of the canine variety. There is even a photo of our ‘official’ photographer, Margit – can you find her?
[Some of these photos have appeared in earlier posts, but – as they say – peoples is peoples! Pics supplied by Margit Salonen, Mary Knowles and Janet Drummond.]

… not fuel this time! However, if hours of painstaking work have anything to do with it, these vehicles will go a long way.
Thanks, Graham – great to see the results of your labours!
