And There Went by our Unforgettable Event…

Patalpino Ramunas August 9, 2010

Once again, there came a day when Birzai was brought back to a postwar time. This was a beautiful day of August 7th, 2010. The town was overpopulated with classic automobile lovers who lined up to show the extraordinary cars. This beautiful day was brought in part by the classic automobile club “Klasika”, whom attracted colleagues from many of Lithuanians towns and villages. It is amazing that we received guests from “Dzukija” classic automobile club, Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda, and the surrounding towns around Birzai.

The participants gathered into a pack of cars from “Baltic Petroleum” gas station and headed towards Astravas Palace. The parade consisted of 53 historical transportation vehicles, of which, 11 were motorcycles, 2 tractors, 5 trucks, and 35 cars.  Participants came by the Astravas Palace and rounded up their cars for the exhibition, while the viewers and the participants could be astonished by the beauty of the architecture of the palace, which once belonged to Count Jonas Tiskevicius. Participants and the viewers were amazed by the park in Astravas Palace and the palace itself because of its astounding tower. Later the guide introduced all participants to the history of Birzai and showed the beautiful man-made lake which happens to be the oldest man-made lake in Lithuania and was made in the year 1575 by rerouting Apascia and Agluona rivers.

On the last Saturday of July club “Klasika” went to visit the town of Kupiškis. There was held an exhibition of old vehicles, club members visited Museum of Adomas Petrauskas, participated in an interesting excursion to visit the church and  many interesting places in the town. We also had an opportunity to take a  look at the beautiful panorama of Kupiškis from the church towers height. Later our cars moved toward the dam and the lagoon where we took a look how locals spend their leasure time. After having a walk by the bay and a visit to the mound nearby, we moved towards the, Mr. Seibutis homestead where we stayed overnight. In the morning we took a ride by a large  fifteen place rowing boat, where we were tought some teamwork and discipline :) For sure we can recommend Kupiškis as a good place for tourism, which can be fun and interesting way to spend time and relax. We are grateful to the Seibučiai family for hospitable hosting overnight, Kupiškis tourism center, municipalities, Adomas Petrauskas Museum, Kupiškis policemen for keeping our cars safe, Kupiškis regional newspaper “Kupiškėnų mintys” and all those who contributed to the festivities. Therefore, we say great thanks and we’ll meet again soon at the festival of the city!
