Hello Folks!!! That time of year we’ve been waiting for, our cruises kick of with the American Legion, then cars and coffee. Looking forward to this year, hopefully we get good turn outs at our cruises! Even though not a real car club event, I got the dash Plaques for the St Conrad’s cruise and they look great! I do have a sponsor lined up for dash plaques for the Butler Fall Fest! Butch Stock and myself are waiting to get with Diehl’s and Honda North for the Freedom Fest! As the weather gets nice be careful in the Hot Rod! God Bless!
Thank You President: Randy Bowser Jr
