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.

Excelsior Christkindlsmarkt this Weekend and Grande Parade on Water St Friday morning
All,
Hi to all and a very Happy Thanksgiving! I haven’t updated my Blog for a while as I have been very busy with the “Main Event” I am part of in the great town of Excelsior.
If you don’t know I am involved with the Tonka Cruzers Car Show, Flea Market and now the Christkindlsmarkt 3-Day Event the Friday/Saturday/Sunday after Turkey Day.
We are our own group which sponsor these 3 events – not the City itself and not the local Chamber.
Well I’m here to tell you don’t miss the Excelsior Christkindlsmarkt [check our website] for more info. Great Event for a number of reasons Food, Gift shopping for the hard to shop for, Music, Santa on the Trolley for your Kids or Grandkids, Reindeer, Alpaca, Boy Scouts selling Wreaths/Swags and trees. Yep, one stop shopping with entertainment in an Festive outdoor setting.

The Kick Off Parade is on Friday 11//29/13 on Water Street -Some of you will be joining us for the Parade! meet at 9:45 AM on Water Street by Dunn Bros for the 10:00 AM parade down Water Street with Santa and the crew!
I will keep updating my Blog after this event is over and have more time with interesting tidbits car related so keep checking my Blog -www.Tonkacruzerscarclub.blogspot.com
OK all I have time for now but here is something else to check out about my fair town –

Lots of restaurant choices in Excelsior so drive on over some evening and find out what we have to offer and also shop in town, more fun then going to the crowded mall.
Be Well,
Rick Meyer

Minnetonka Assisted Living Cruze in
Minnetonka Assisted Living does put on a great event with the sit down meal and the raffle is a fun event along with good entertainment. The Residents do appreciate the car event as do the folks that work there.
My Mom is in Assisted Living so I know the first hand the Residents do enjoy someone to chat with and it might require you to talk loud enough for them to hear but no matter thanks for engaging their attention as they have led interesting lives.
I have attached some photos I took in more in an intent to be a little artsy/interesting – comment if you want to.
Check the blog when you get a chance as Tracy will post them soon.
Thanks again,
Rick Meyer
