Cumberland Run @ Celina
The Cumberland Run was held in Celina, TN around the old Courthouse
Square. The weather couldn't have been better, so there were lots of
people and plenty of cars. Seven of the Cumberland River Cruisers were
at the cruise-in. The first 50 people that registered their vehicles
were able to pick out a free T-shirt and tickets were drawn for door
prizes during the entire event. They conducted a 50/50 drawing before
the cruise-in was over and the winner collected 1/2 of the prize money.
The announcer thanked everyone for attending and invited them back next
week for a Moonshine
Daze car show.

NAPA 2012 Car Show
The weather was the worst we've ever had for a car show. It was cold,
somewhere between 50 and 55 degrees, but it felt even colder. It was
misting rain and a brisk breeze. The club members that were working the
car show voted 7-1 to go ahead with the show. Amazingly, people started
showing up with their vehicles and registering. Darrell opened up his
Mid Night Special DJ trailer and pepped up the crowd with the old tunes
and the kids from 21st Century sold hot coffee and sandwiches.
It
seemed to get colder as the time passed. At noon, registration was
closed and the Crusiers gave everyone notice that they had 1 hour to
vote for their 3 favorite vehicles and then the awards would be passed
out. While the votes were being counted, the Cruisers had a small boy
draw for the door prizes as they passed them to the winners. The
trophies for Long Distance and Club Participation were then awarded. The
list of winners was then handed over to the announcer and each winner
was presented a Top 20 Trophy as their name was called. After those were
presented, the Cruisers called Walter Hendley to the tent and presented
him with the Best of Show Trophy for his blue and white 56 Chevy.
The
50/50 drawing was done and the money paid to the winner. The Cruisers
thanked the owners that brought their vehicles out in the bad weather.
We
hope we made the best of a bad situation for those that attended.

January Meeting
The Cruisers held their January meeting at the Fire Training Building Thursday at 6 PM. President Dave Neff called the meeting to order on time and several items were discussed. One of the decisions that the members made were to order new shirts. A few will be for new club members and a few more will be for the club to sell. We will be having monthly meetings on the last Thursday of each month until October was another decision that was made. Sponsor fees had been collected from three of the sponsors with more to be contacted in the coming months. Those checks were turned in to the treasurer. Discussions were going on about the club cruising to other events when we have a month without one of our events taking place. Dennis Hayward and Dave Neff announced they had opened a new business together in Burkesville. They're calling it American Street Rod Garage and are planning a Grand Opening on March 17th with free food and a small cruise-in. The meeting was adjourned a few minutes before 7 PM.
