Blessing of the Combines

I decided to take my Mustang to the Blessing of the Combines in Snow Hill, MD. It’s one of those unique small-town events that bring together the community, and I thought it would be fun to check out the car show while I was there. However, as with most plans, things didn’t go exactly as expected.

I got a late start and, as I rolled into Snow Hill, I found myself stuck behind the combine parade. These massive machines were slowly making their way down the main street, and there was nothing to do but enjoy the view and soak in the atmosphere. It was actually kind of cool to see the combines up close, but I couldn’t help but feel a little anxious about getting to the car show.

After what felt like forever, I finally found a spot in the show. I parked, got out, and started wandering around, taking in the other cars on display. Not long after, I ran into my mom and dad, who had also come to enjoy the day. We spent some time wandering around together, checking out the cars and the various vendors set up along the street. It was nice to catch up and share the experience with them.

Eventually, the heat and the crowds got to us, and we decided to cool off at Oaked, a restaurant nearby. We grabbed a table, ordered some lunch, and enjoyed a few drinks, relaxing and enjoying the air conditioning. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle outside.

After lunch, we parted ways—mom and dad headed off to explore more of the festival, while I decided it was time to head home. As I drove back, I couldn’t help but reflect on what a fun day it had been, even with the delays and the unexpected turns. It’s days like this that make owning the Mustang even more enjoyable—getting to be part of different events, running into family, and just enjoying the ride.
