Sept 7 Apple Day some 1920s Model classic cars in Excelsior by the Excelsior MN Flea Market

Here are a few shots from Excelsior's Apple Day Model T show running concurrent with Ricks Tonka Cruzers car show, duels by the Excelsior Flea Market and right by Lake Minnetonka.

Minnetonka Assisted Living Cruze in

A great big thank you for making the 5th year of the Minnetonka Assisted Living Car Show such a success! I received an RSVP for 25 cars and that’s how many showed up – wow, you are the best.

 

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

Tonka Cruzers Car Club Member's car in wedding

Tom Veilleux provided his 1962 Buick Skyark convertible for an Excelsior wedding this month in Excelsior! Was a great day for a ride from Church to the wedding reception!  

Rick Meyer sent out the call for a vintage convertible to be used for his neighbor's wedding and Tom was able to provide it as well as chauffeur. Tom is also a photographer that produced a 2013 calendar featuring Excelsior vintage cars from the 7-Hi Cruisers club in and around Excelsior, MN and Lake Minnetonka.

Tonka Cruzers Aug 31, 2013

All,

Well another Tonka Cruzers Car Club season almost under our belt [6th season]… have been lucky with no rain-outs due to my superior scheduling [Ha, ha!].

Thank you sincerely to all that have come and displayed/shared their cars with the general public and other car folk at the Car Show – always something to learn by chatting with each other.

NOTE: August 31^st was supposed to be the last Car Show of the season.

But wait, the good news is I have been asked to do one more on Sept 7^th during Apple Day on that Saturday. This is great news is for those that come that day [with Collector Cars] will have a prime parking at my Show to be able to check out Apple Day on a day that parking is hard to find.

I have changed the hours slightly to 10 to 2 so take note, this is a great opportunity for all of you and I would love to see a huge turnout of your Rides.

Apple Day celebrates [since 1929] the Apple Orchards that used to be in the area and is a big event.  Check – Excelsior-LakeMinnetonkaChamber.com for more information.

The Flea Market by the theatre will also be run that day with vendors that are bound to have something you can’t live without so be sure to visit the Excelsior Flea Market that day.  

Sincerely,

Rick Meyer [612] 750-6917
