June 29th Tonka Cruzers Car Show

June 29th Tonka Cruzers Car Show ... again dodged the rain even as the morning started out "iffy", lucky, lucky! Had 28 cars and 7 newcomers which [see photos] make it interesting.

The day turned out nice with the sun eventually coming out.

Had quite a number of folks come in to take a look at the cars on display and drooling over their favorites [but not on them!].

At 11:30 had a drawing for the door prizes by Justin a nice young boy who's father proudly stood by to watch his son do a great job of [closed his eyes while drawing] the license plate numbers collected for the door prizes. Prizes were picked by the winners in the order they were drawn. 

See the picture of him [Justin] in my '49 - nice young man and future car guy one can hope.

Fourteen door prizes were drawn and have more for the next show on July 13th so come maybe you will be a lucky recipient of a great door prize at that show. 

Anyway have a great 4th and no car show this weekend but Cruze on in on the 13th and see who shows up on that date.

Get some of your friends to attend next show with their cars or as spectators and have a safe Happy 4th.

Wealshire Car Show June 19th 2013 Bloomington, MN

How do you make a Cruze-In successful - you have Car Folk willing to donate a few hours of their time and display their "Rides" for the pleasure of the Residents of a Assisted Living Memory Care facility.

Add in a 1952 Mack restored City Bus and 13 Collector Cars, it doesn't get much better than that! The Car owners reward was seeing the Residents want their picture taken with maybe their car or other with a smile on the Residents face and maybe a memory of a certain car.

Wealshire provided a nice Hot Dog meal for us and anxious plans for next year at this facility which will have a new addition, more Residents and more cars.

Thank you all for bringing you cars [@ Bus] to make today a great success, very cool of you to take some time out of you day to do that!! 

Sincere Thanks,

Rick Meyer

Please note that there are 2 more such Car Shows this year so let me know if you can attend one or both.

Tonka Cruzers Car Show June 15

June 15th Car Show went well with 4 more "First Timers" at the Tonka Cruzers Show - very fun to see these cars plus all others that attend, again thanks to all.

No show this Saturday [22nd] because most will be at Back to the Fifties at the State Fair grounds,can't compete with around 10,000 Cars.

Hope to see you back again on the 29th with the Door Prize drawings at that show.

Hard to believe it is almost July but hopefully we will have an extended stretch of good weather going into fall to make up for the lousy, wet Spring!!

Anyway enjoy this weekend with all the new cars in town and see you next Saturday.
