An overcast morning dawned on Saturday July 19, 2025 and was pleasant enough to entice about 6 DVJC members out to rendezvous with our friends from the MG and Triumph Clubs at the Parc Bistro in Skippack, PA. With most hoods folded on an eclectic collection of a dozen or so British autos (with a few modern cars included), we drove the short distance north to Gilbertsville, PA along scenic Rt 73 to find parking near the Three Dog Garage. With rain beginning to put a damper on some, we parked and quickly found ourselves immersed in a magnificently restored industrial building in the company of many avid car enthusiasts from a host of different local car clubs.

From the car show, we were seated on a private but covered deck overlooking the rapids of the upper French Creek leaving many in awe of the scene that looks more like it should be in the Rocky Mountains than in Pennsylvania.  We were treated to a wide choice of bunch entries selected forth Inn’s extensive menu.  A hearty brunch indeed with many choosing a Brunch entry called “English Breakfast”.  We also enjoyed a selection of locally baked pastries from Far Away Farms as an appetizer and desert along with excellent coffee during the event.
