Our May event will be a visit to the collection of OCTC members Craig and Cathy Landon. This couple has a large collection of Flying ‘A’ memorabilia and also several Model A’s. In order to ensure that everyone has adequate time to view the collection and not need to feel rushed by anyone else’s plans that day, we’ve decided to eat an early lunch and join up with club members who live in the area before taking the short drive from the restaurant to the Landons’ house.
For those who wish to caravan together, a group from the north end will gather at the Starbucks parking lot on Grady Way in Renton Village Center at 9:30am and leave promptly at 9:45am. For those in the south a caravan pick-up place will be at the Hwy 16 Narrows Bridge/Gig Harbor Weigh Station.
From there we’ll take I-5 to Tacoma and then Hwy 16 across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to Purdy. At Purdy we’ll take the left turn, across the waterway road on Hwy 302, to Belfair. We plan to be at the restaurant around 11:00am.
For those living further south who don’t want to caravan with us, and those living in the Belfair area, we’ll plan on meeting up with you at the restaurant around 11:00am.
Burger Claim & More
24171 Hwy 3, Belfair
Eating an early lunch will hopefully allow us to not compete with any of their regular customers during the normal lunchtime rush, and reduce stress at the restaurant. Once everyone has finished lunch Craig will lead us the short distance southwest on Hwy 300 to his house.

Please join us Saturday, June 4th @ 11:00 am as we take a peek inside the wacky, wonderful world of:
“NardoLand”
Maltby’s Ron “Nardo” Nardone has spent a lifetime collecting signs, vintage gas pumps and a whole heckuva lot more!
The property off Paradise Lake Road in the Maltby/Woodinville area is like no other—located at 22128 Paradise Lake Road.
The owners call it “NardoLand”, but it’s not an amusement park. It’s the home of Ron and Sally-Jo Nardone. Ron is often thought of as the unofficial Mayor of Maltby and more famous alumni of Bothell High. Check out the story of NardoLand and Nardo on Eric’s Heroes on KOMO 5 TV.

Despite the “no trespassing” signs, passersby can’t help but pull into the driveway, antique gas
station pumps beckoning them forward to a green gate barring entrance to a land where relics from an age gone by.A tiny barbershop, marked by its red-and-white striped, rotating sign, sits to the right of the main house. These are just two of the 10 buildings dotting the 12-acre property. But the buildings are not the main attraction; rather, it’s the stuff around them—like a 14-foot-tall chicken on top of a massive KFC bucket.
A giant eagle—a rare item from the long-gone automotive service company Richfield Oil Corp.– looks over the entrance to the Nardone’s home from its perch on the garage, surrounded by classic signs like an 8-foot-by-4-foot 1930’s Coca Cola sign which is one of only a thousand made.
Behind that, Nardo’s Shell Service stands, decorated with old Shell Gas Station signs and pumps. Inside this building, the Nardone’s collection dates back to their high school years with memorabilia and old buses from Bothell and Ballard High Schools. Outside the building are original field goal uprights and a score clock from Bothell High. Due to the Nardone’s generosity, this is a special opportunity for our club members and guests to get a peek inside the wonderful creative world of Nardo-Land.
After touring NardoLand, around 1:00 PM, lunch will be at Maltby Pizza and Pasta, 8813 Maltby Rd., Snohomish, WA 98296 (360)668-5757. Maltby Pizza is located next to the well-known Maltby Café both just a short drive from NardoLand. Weather permitting, we have reserved enclosed outdoor seating at Maltby Pizza.
Please RSVP by May 22, 2022, via the web site. For more information please contact Rick Len at (253)377-9132, mrlen2@comcast.net.
