Get Well and Hurry Back Gary!

We arrived on Trophy Row just after 3:00 in our '67 Dodge Dart 270 it seemed strange not to see Gary’s HHR parked by the stage. Larry & Gator had their 2004 Dodge Hemi Truck parked with Bill & Doris next to them in their '79 T-Bird. Gary’s son Gary accompanied by his wife Ann and son David had arrived and started to set up the stage. We got updated from them that Gary was home and doing fine.

We made our way to the office to see Tracy and make our merchant stops when we got back to Trophy Row Dave had arrived in his '83 Grand Marquis we headed to Flippers for our usual meal while we were there John drove by in his '57 Chevy 210, Chris in his '75 Formula 400 after making it out he got called home, Wolfman & Sue were in their '03 F150 "Wolfwagon" with the news that Dwight won a couple of competitions in Las Vegas and is preparing for the one in Memphis, needless to say his Old Town fans wish him well.

Ray brought out his '32 Ford Coupe and Nick parked his '32 Ford Coupe next to him, Morris arrived in his '50 Ford Coupe, Lynn brought out her '08 Avalanche and Lori was in her '04 Expedition, Tom & Lori joined us with her '68 Mustang, Stan & Maryann were in their '10 VW Jetta, Bobby & Melissa brought out their '08 Harley Davidson F150, we welcomed Marco & Maurie in a '71 Mercury Comet, Dale arrived in his '57 Chevy Wagon, Vinny was in his '04 Dakota, Tom & Bunny brought out their daily driver, Bert arrived in his "Elvis Tribute" PT Cruiser, Ken & Audrey debuted their '11 Jaguar XJL. Joe & Kathy returned with Paul & Kathy in their '68 Mustang, Tony, Donna & Jordan were in their '65 Mustang, Robert Norma & Lori brought out their Mustang tonight, George arrived in his '05 Yukon, Tom, Arielle & Austin joined us in a '79 Pinto, Tim arrived in his '87 Olds Cutlass bringing the total number of Cruiser Cars to 25. Then Cisco & Sebastian arrived in their '67 Olds Cutlass bringing the final Cruiser Car count to 26.

The spectator crowd was arriving slowly “The Dukes” Jim & Craig had arrived and set up their equipment ready to start entertaining us at 6:00. At 7:30 we had 14 participants for the Old Town Stroll followed by Steve awarding Cruiser of the week to Cruiser #132 Morris Rausch in his '50 Ford Coupe.
Maryann did a great job selling 50/50 tickets a spectator Ron from Kissimmee had the winning ticket for the $79 jackpot.

As the Cruise-A-Matic had reached $150 we decided to draw it until it was won the seventh name drawn by Anna was Cruiser #13 Tim Andrews he was present with a registered vehicle so he was the lucky recipient. Commiserations to Cruisers #86 Steve & Amanda Nash, #11 Tony & Marianne De Gennaro, #31 Buddy & Donna Smith, #8 Bob Berube, #91 Sam Savage and #149 Bob Melendy, next week we will start over at $25.
