2025 Events
April: Spero Winery
We had our last Spero Wine Dinner. It was well attended with 31 people. The food was great and the wine flowed freely. We thank June and Clyde for 15 years of fun, food and friendship
February: 2025 Lowe Soup Supper
We had evening of good food and fun games. There was many different types of soup brought by our members and games such as pinball, shuffleboard, a slot machine, bowling and video arcade games.
For those who have not been to a soup supper before, the object is for each family that comes brings a pot of their favorite homemade soup or a dessert. And there are enough pots of different soup that everyone can sample 3, 4 or 5.
January: Men’s Potluck
We had an impressive turnout for the Men’s Potluck despite the snow and cold. The food was fantastic and almost all of it was gone during the event
2024 Events
December: Paint & Sip with Susan Opfer
We had 10 painters for the Paint and Sip. You don’t really need to be an artist to have a good time at a Paint & Sip. Thank you to Susan and her friend Jeanie for organizing this activity.
October: Hagen’s Halloween Party
We were invited to Lanny and Dave’s for a Halloween party which turned out to be a hoot. Lannie goes all out with disgusting looking food with great flavor. So many people came in costume, which made it even more fun. Thank you to Lannie for opening her home to us all.
October: Officer’s Banquet
We would like to thank Kathy for all of her help, planning the menu and decorations. Alan for taking care of the money, Larry with the set up. And of course, Jaime and her most talented design of all the neat Halloween houses and bottles. Thank you all!
We had 28 people attending this year’s Banquet, the food was very good, and the waitress, Larysa was so good, we were all well taken care of. I did not get the name of our cook (do have a picture of him and Larysa). He made the best scalloped potato, Pork loin and gravy, Herb chicken breast and green beans Almondine.
Again, thank you for attending this year’s Banquet, and do hope you enjoyed it.
September: Brookdale Car Show & Jan and Chuck’s 70th Anniversary
The club celebrated a great day with the Carlson’s – a 70th Anniversary!! Several members brought their cars out, we had a nice BBQ lunch, and spent time with one of our favorite couples. The weather was nice; not like the 100+ degree day we would have gotten earlier in the summer.
Chuck and Janice, congratulations again!
September: Backyard Oktoberfest
We had around 70 people not counting kids and grandkids, so a good turnout. There was lots of good food and fun with only a couple of minor issues. We managed to get two people locked in the bathroom in the garage and had to use a screwdriver to get them out. Also, the sign I have as a joke on the door going into the house that reads “Please Use Other Door” was taken quite literally by a few folks. We had to cover that up so people could get into the bathroom that wouldn’t lock them in. As Larry says, “It’s all about the stories.”
July: OCA Nationals & Wagner Classic Cars
President Larry Ruppel, Tony, and Bob enjoying some beverages at the National Swap meet; they couldn’t find any cups so they used taillights to drink from.
June: Music Night at the Rupples Compound
The club enjoyed a casual Saturday evening enjoying our favorite band Soda Blue
May: Florence Show Weekend
The group got away for the weekend at Canon City. We met for dinner Friday night in Penrose at the Gooseberry patch, and Saturday for the VFW’s 1st annual car show and enjoyed a nice Italian dinner at DiRitos Italian. Sunday the group went to the car show in Florence

Mob Tour
The Oldsmobile club went on the exciting Mob Tour, where we saw the secrets of Colorado's Prohibition era. We explored the dark world of bootlegging and illegal activities in the 1920s and visited the infamous Mob House, where the Mob held secret gatherings. We discovered the clever disguises used in the Mob Church, a front for illicit operations and uncovered the impact of Prohibition on Colorado's criminal underworld.
