Listed District’s Phenomenal Finds Vol. 37 – Pedal Cars

Listed District is written by Ellen Richardson, a graphic designer and Pleasant Plains resident.

Strangely enough, I’ve found that there’s almost never a shortage of vintage pedal cars available on Craigslist. My family has had the same John Deere pedal tractor since the 50’s – it’s on its third generation of riders and still works perfectly and looks great. Vintage toys of any type are a great heirloom to pass from generation to generation, and are sure to outlast any battery powered contraption by at least a few millennia…
Though some of these are listed a little farther than usual, they might be well worth the journey. Happy Hunting!
$250 – 1950s Firetruck Pedal Car (complete with ladders!)
$130 – 1950s Murray Fire Chief Pedal Car (with bell!)
–And here’s what looks to be a restored one for $150:
$200 – Vintage Green Pedal Tractor
$100 – Yellow Pedal Car (is that a LIGHT on the hood??)
$180 – BMC Blue Streak Pedal Car (look at that paint job!)
$300 – John Deere Pedal Tractor + Trailer

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
