We had a beautiful night for our Friday night cruise, no rain, at least not at Old-Town.  The weather was not as hot and humid as it has been. We guess our Fall weather will be here before we know it. Since it was such a beautiful night we had  169 registered cruisers who came out to enjoy the cruise and to fellowship with their many cruiser friends. Allan gave us some good news tonight, starting next week we will be back on the brick street parking before the cruise. This is by permit only so we are asking all cruisers to be on their good behavior and be at your cruiser by ten minutes before nine and be ready to cruise. We thank Allan and Old-Town for getting this done for us.

We decided to cruise with our 79 Thunderbird today. Bill Hunter was already in line and had his 2003 beautiful decorated Ford truck with him tonight. Stan and Maryann were there with the 77 Pacer. We want to congratulate them on their wedding Anniversary. Also Maryann had just retired from McDonald's after being there for almost 30 years. Best wishes and good luck to both of them.

Shorty after a lime green 1994 Isuzu pickup arrived then Paul Harrold and Nikki came in with their 1987 Grand National Buick. Paul has had some health problems and missed a few weeks sure is good to have them back. Also in line was Tony (Loser 2) who had his 1994 Corvette. Ken and Audrey and their 2006 Mustang, and George (Loser No. 3) also George (Loser No. 31/2) with their 1986 Cutlass. A little further back were some more early cruisers.

Dave was working and would not be in for awhile so Gary and Lee registered us and let us into Old-Town. When you see these guys thank them for all they do for us cruisers. All of Allan's crew is doing a great job.

We had our regular meal with Stan and Maryann and headed out to visit with our Old-Town family and friends. Our PT cruisers were spaced out tonight. Yolando with her 2006 close to the stage, Toby on the end with his 2004 PT, Bert and Laverne were down on block 2 with their 2007 PT and our latest cruiser Bob had his 2006 PT. Billie had his 2008 HHR instead of his PT Cruiser. Ken and Audrey were next to the stage with the 2006 Mustang, Ed (Loser No,1) with his 1988 Corvette and Bob and Norma had their 2006 Mustang with them.

Kelly was back with her 2002 Dodge Ram truck, Nancy and her 1991 Mustang, Nilda had her 1996 Taurus. We are proud of our lady cruisers. Mike  had his 1980 Corvette on block 1.  In our area was Vinny with his 2005 Dakota, (no longer cruiser of the month), Dennis and Linda had their 1986 Monte Carlo, Gearld brought out the 1996 Ford Ranger and Tim Messer had his 1994 white Jeep. Also he had his family with him.  Chuck and Linda had their 2 beautiful Corvettes with them. She also received her beautiful jacket tonight for being cruiser of the month for May.

We met another first time cruiser tonight, Al and Pat Kirk from Ft. Washington, Maryland were cruising their 2003 Corvette. They are also celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary which was August 23.

Some more dedicated cruisers we saw were Chris Mohler------1975 Pontiac, George Pennachi------2005 Yukon, Felix----1978 Scorpion, Jon and Angie----1978 Pontiac and Chuck and Jade with their 1981 Camaro.

Tom and Bunny were not cruising but visiting tonight. Also Mark, owner of the beast was visiting tonight. A couple more who were only visiting were Joe Jolly, Alan and Pat and another couple who are always at Old-Town are Larry Nace and Elaine York. Michael and his daughter Brittney were also cruising their 2003 Dodge Viper.

Cruiser of the month for September is Freddyson Quinones who has a 2003 Yellow S 10 Xtreme. It has wide red striping and Tweety wrote on the back window. Congratulations.

Our Cruise-O-Matic tonight was $125.00. No takers tonight. Our 50/50 of $44.00 was won by Gerald (Mr. Pontiac). We also thank all our sponsors for all they do for the cruisers.

See you all next week.
