NCDBS Northern California Dodge Brothers and Sisters is a group of
people who love and own vintage Dodge Brothers and Graham Brothers vehicles.
Our group is located in Northern California. We promote Dodge Brothers vehicles and Grahman Brothers trucks in our everday life.
The Sonora Round-Up parade is part of the Sonora (Calaveras and Tuloumne counties) Rodeo. This year is probably the 8th year that the Northern California Dodge Brothers and Sisters has participated in the parade as an antique car entry. In the past, we have had automobiles from Petaluma, Richmond, Columbia, Alamo and other parts of the state. Our little unit does well to represent the Dodge Brothers and Sisters of Northern California. The group entered as part of the Antique Car competion where all of the cars in this unit were Dodge Brothers vechicle. A great breakfast was provided by Sherrin Grout for all of those who arrived early and following the parade she and Barbara Boone provided a great lunch for all of the participants. After the lunch, we had an informal NCDBS meeting and the rest of the touring year was discussed in detail. We have the Stadelhofer's 4th of July parade and the National Meet in Kokomo during this same weekend, the Tallac, the Galt Old Car festival, the Gatsby Afternoon at Dunsmuir, a Fall Tour in the Central Valley and the Sonora Christmas parade. A lot of activities which can be participated in or not. It is the decision of each NCDBS member to decide which event he or she may want to get involved in. We suggest that the more events the merrier. Go forth and enjoy yourselves! After the meeting, it was time to load up the cars and head for home. Another great and successful Round Up parade was completed for 2008.
This is a 1918 Touring car driven by Gene Stadelhofer of Alamo. Wife Vickie was not present due to the early start in trailering this car to Sonora beginning at 4:00 a.m.
Here we see a 1919 4-door sedan owned by Tom and Elaine Gong of Richmond, California.
The host for this parade event was Donn Marinovich. Here is Donn's 1923 Screenside Commercial Car decked out in the Northern California Dodge Brothers and Sisters banners.
Coming up from Farmington was Herman Boone in his beautiful 1935 KC pickup truck.
Here is a digipix of Gene Stadelhofers 1918 Touring Car lined up to enter into the parade route.
Here we see Leah Gong riding with Gene (with Elaine Gong in the background) just about ready to roll onto the parade route.
Synopsis: The Sonora Roundup Parade in Sonora was concluded on May 10, 2008. The parade route was begun from the JS West lumberyard right up the main street of Sonora to the Anglican Church. Hosted by Donn and Sherrin Marinovich, we all had a fabulous time. Thanks for viewing this website.
