SUMMARY:Professional Car Society 2021 International Meet
DESCRIPTION:HEARSE & AMBULANCE COLLECTORS HEADING TO OHIO FOR THE PROF
 ESSIONAL CAR SOCIETY’S 2021 INTL. MEET JUNE 28th-JULY 3rd\n\nAs Ohio
  has been home to more hearse and ambulance building specialist firms 
 than any other state, it’s most fitting that the Professional Car So
 ciety’s 44th Annual International Meet will be staged in The Buckeye
  State from Monday, June 28th through Saturday, July 3rd, 2021.\n\nThe
  PCS Ohio Chapter - which notably attracted an all-time club record 13
 1 “pro-cars” to the last International Meet it hosted in 2011 - wi
 ll headquarter this year’s gathering at the Mohican State Lodge whos
 e GPS address is 4700 Goon Road in Perrysville. Funeral directors and 
 emergency service personnel who have spent their careers working with 
 “pro-cars” will likely book most of the 96 rooms being offered at 
 a special pre-tax group rate of $115 (telephone 419-938-5411). Notable
  amenities include a private balcony for every room, heated indoor and
  outdoor pools, paved bike and walking trails, two outdoor tennis cour
 ts, a securely lighted parking lot and a breakfast buffet available un
 til 10:30 a.m.\n\nThough the full itinerary posted at https://www.thep
 rofessionalcarsociety.org/2021-meet.html also touts visits to Mansfiel
 d’s Fire Museum and downtown Carousel District; Amish Country attrac
 tions like the Ages of Steam railway roundhouse; and the fearsome, for
 tress-like Ohio State Reformatory where 1994’s THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPT
 ION was famously filmed, the meet’s “Main Events” will surely be
  the Friday, July 2nd Professional Car Concours in the Mohican State L
 odge’s parking lot and the club’s Saturday, July 3rd appearance at
  the Annual Car Show and Antique Festival in Loudonville, Ohio where T
 he Flxible Company manufactured mostly Buick-based hearses and ambulan
 ces from 1925 through 1964. Local residents might never have a better 
 opportunity to properly admire the professional cars built with pride 
 and skill in their community, as well as those of other renowned Ohio 
 coachbuilders like Superior of Lima, Miller-Meteor of Piqua, Sayers & 
 Scovill of Cincinnati and the Shop of Siebert in Toledo.\n\nWhile the 
 PCS’ Constitution and judging rules expressly prohibit macabre misce
 llany like coffins, cobwebs, skeletons so the public’s attention sta
 ys focused on the aesthetics and fine craftsmanship of the participati
 ng pro-cars, they do permit hearses and flower cars containing floral 
 arrangements and ambulances fitting stretchers, resuscitators and othe
 r period-authentic rescue gear. Camper conversions retaining their ori
 ginal bodies can also be displayed but won’t be judged, while safety
  dictates every show entrant must have a fire extinguisher and wheel c
 hocks. COVID-19 social distancing protocols will also see Saturday eve
 ning’s awards banquet take place on an outdoor patio at the Mohican 
 State Lodge, after which the meet will conclude in traditional PCS fas
 hion with an awe-inspiring light and siren show by the attendees’ am
 bulances.\n\nIt goes without saying that PCS Ohio Chapter President Ro
 n Devies - whom prospective attendees can e-mail at ron_devies@yahoo.c
 om if they have questions - is excited about hosting “the first meet
  up with old friends after a nearly two-year hiatus of no pro cars or 
 seeing old friends.” He also points out Sunday, July 4th need not be
  his guests’ travel day home: “The legal holiday is Monday so go h
 ome then. Enjoy the hotel’s amenities at the same great rate you had
  all week” and perhaps consider the Pleasant Hill Marina’s tremend
 ous rental boat fleet across the lake from the lodge; zip-lining at Tr
 ee Top Canopy Tours; the restored 19th Century buildings at Wolf Creek
  Grist Mill Historic Park; the gabled Gothic architecture of the Oak H
 ill Cottage built in 1847; or the Bible Walk wax museum where special 
 effects and audio bring The Good Book’s stories to life.\n \n\nFor
