Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Yeah that’s my Mildred decked out for Christmas.
Sorry for a lapse in updating my Blog site but have been busy with the Christkindlsmarkt Event in Excelsior for the last few months and now the follow up. This is the 8th year of this event which ran the 3 days after Thanksgiving and our most successful one yet.
Check us out at ExcelsiorChristmas.com
Please view the photos of the opening day Parade the Friday after Thanksgiving with Santa and the Christmas Angel in the lead with some Elves. Check out the photos of a couple of the Car guys [Roger and Chuck] who faithfully participate in the Parade every year – a big thanks to them!
Will continue to update my Blog on a more regular basis with tidbits of interest to all the Car Folk out there so keep checking.
The photo of the transformation of Jim Boylan’s 1940 Chev [after he sold it] is amazing. It was at a couple of my Car Shows and gotta say it was very straight and a solid car to begin with and the party who bought it did a great job of having it restored to original – absolutely my kind of restoration, thanks for sharing Jim.
Now had to include this last photo of Tracy and me at the Assisted Living Car Show I sponsor in Bloomington. This one of three I sponsor during the summer and getting more successful every year.
This last summer a restored Bus from the Excelsior run showed up that was part of a collection and a Bus that was one that actually was used in the Excelsior run, how cool is that – made for a great photo op!
Anyway, that’s it for now and if you have any news or interesting car related “stuff” please send it to me to include on my Blog. It will help fill a void until we can get back on the road again.
Have a safe Holiday Season and hope to see or hear from you soon.
Rick and Tracy,
Tonka Cruzers Car Club - Excelsior
