We arrived early 2:50 or so we thought but Wolfman & Sue already had the '03 F150 "Wolfwagon" parked by Gary’s  '07 HHR Sherod south of the stage, we parked our  '67 Dodge Dart 270 opposite them and headed off to do prize shopping for the 50/50. Tom & Bunny parked their '66 Malibu next to us and headed for Flippers were we joined them. Bill & Doris arrived in their  79 T-Bird, Ray in his '32 Ford Coupe and Mike & Carol in their '74 Dodge Dart.

Because we were early the dinner time arrivals seemed less than usual Oscar in his '93 Ford Taurus SHO, John in his '57 Chevy 210 and Dave in his '83 Grand Marquis was met by Esther & Mesha in the daily driver. Back on Trophy Row, Bob arrived in his  '68 SS396 Chevelle, Nick & Fran in their '32 Ford Coupe, Steve & Carol stopped by for a short visit in the daily driver on their way home. Sam is back from England and brought his '32 Beauford to it’s first cruise this visit. Sue & Steve brought out their '08 "Elvis Tribute" PT Cruiser, Vinny was in his '04 Dakota, Larry & Karen in "ITZA40", Mike, N4HHA had a rare night off and brought out the '63 Corvair Spyder, Steve & Carolyn parked the '71 440 Barracuda north of the stage, Rosemary & Dan were in her 2000 Mustang Convertible, Ron brought out his '66 Corvette full of passengers, John & Sandy were in the '53 "Bumble Bee" Mercury and Glenn & Stephanie brought out their '08 Mustang Shelby making at total of 22 cruisers all ready to enjoy a beautiful spring evening.

Radio Check Ins included Graham, G4HFG, Emil,KJ4GNH, Tony, K4AVD, Scotty was on duty, Arne was at his post, Tracy was busy, the Blue Suede Review with Tommy on the keyboard tonight were set up, Mike Singer, KJ4GNI was in the Blue Room, Karen and Bill arrived and Dwight entertained us with his first set of the evening.

At the end of the first set, Karen made Dwight stay on stage while she made an announcement, congratulating Dwight on his recent marriage to Vicky who was then introduced to everyone. They might have thought that getting married in Las Vegas, would escape some of the customary traditions but they underestimated their Old Town fans and extended family, a bouquet was produced for Vicky to throw to the “maids” and Dwight had to retrieve a garter and throw it to the “bachelors”. After duly embarrassing them they were escorted back to the dressing room to be rewarded with a wedding cake.

Then back to business, Steve, K4SLB and Mike, KJ4GNI would take the stage, the Cruiser of the week was awarded to Cruiser #147, Nick & Francine Cortese in their '32 Ford Coupe.

Bunny did a great job selling 50/50 tickets, Bob & Dave would help during the pre-drawing rush. Dave would then join Steve & Mike on stage. Harold a spectator from Michigan had the winning ticket for the $152 jackpot. Thank You to "Tropical Breeze" for the $25 gift certificate for the drawing.

The $100 Cruise-A-Matic would have gone home with cruiser #197 Stan Wlosek who was not out tonight so it goes up to $125 next week.
