Tonka Cruzers Car Club Excelsior MN update

All,

Hello, been a while, bet you were anxiously to read the next chapter of the Tonka Cruzers Blog or maybe gave up – well looking forward to the 2017 Car Season and by the way my ’49 is finally up and running again after a disappointing summer of problems!

Thanks to my Pit Crew cause I’m no Mechanic. My Pit Crew includes John Hardin, Gary Berry, Guy Hensen, Gary’s First Class Excelsior and Williams Towing/Flatbed Service. I will go into detail later of all the work done but for now just want to fire up the Blog so Tracy can update it with my latest Blurb – you didn’t think I am computer savvy enough to do it myself did you?

Let’s start with upcoming shows to get us Car Folk blood flowing again so here is a quick list:

44th Greater Mpls Auto Show which besides New Expensive cars there will be Collector Cars that Randy Guyer has arranged to be there.

World of Wheels is finally back and being held at the New Vikings Stadium, kind ofexpensive but should be interesting and a great way to see the stadium.

The GSTA Rod and Custom Show [Since 1954] is always a nice attraction.

Tonka Cruzers Shows for the summer stay tuned for details:

Catholic Elder Care NE Mpls [not North Mpls] finally on again – July see Flyer

Chanhassen Night Out yep in Chanhassen  - July

Wealshire Assisted Living Bloomington – August

Enough for now hope all is well with you Folks.

Be Well,

Carver Community Night Car Show at SW Transit Station 7/14/16

Since I am not doing my Car Shows anymore, I am getting requests for cars for certain events in the Twin Cities area. Here is an event this Thursday put on by the Carver Southwest Transit Station.

Attached is the flyer for the Carver Community night 5 to 8pm Thursday July 14, 2016.

Should be a fun Event and is easy to get to! Hwy 212 to the Fleet Farm exit only take a left at the top of the exit Jonathan Carver Parkway [Cty 11] go back over the bridge over 212 a short drive to Ironwood Drive and take a right down to the entrance to the parking lot - easy!

Note: just think you can go to Fleet Farm when you leave - kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak.

Any questions shot me an email or give me a call,

Excelsior Car Show Update, Concours Show, and Rick & Mildred in the News

All,

Well just a quick email about my Saturday Car Shows in Excelsior - due to the City raising my Permit Fee from $550 to $7000 I will not be having them any more! See below a link to a news clip from Kare 11 for somewhat of an explanation. Sorry to have to quit but it was out of my hands.

Thank you all who have attended and enjoyed and to all the businesses in town who have generously donated gift certificates that I have been able to offer as Door Prizes - it has been fun! Thanks for the regulars and all the "new" attendees that have been my pleasure to meet. See you at the shows on Saturdays I have not been able to attend.

Sunday the 5th I participated in the 10,000 Lakes Concours d'Elegance which was a really fun event which included many side events - Cocktail Party at the Chan AutoMotorplex Friday evening, a Trip to the Veit Auto Museum Saturday [this is an amazing place] and the Show on Sunday at the Commons in Excelsior looking out on Lake Minnetonka.

I have also included a few links to some other sites that you might find interesting.

Enjoy your Summer and keep checking my Blog for the latest updates
