September Cruise-In

Saturday the weather was beautiful for the CRC Cruise-In. The traffic was heavy around the square in Burkesville with boats and motor homes headed to the lake and camp grounds, but the turnout for the cruise-in was low because of it being a holiday weekend and club members were out of town or busy with friends and family. We had enough cars that the visitors driving by noticed our club was having a cruise-in though. Some of the cars that attended are shown in pictures below.
 
   
   
   
   
   
We would like to thank the guys and gals from Russell Springs, KY that made the cruise down to Burkesville.

Thanks for coming down!

Blue Grass Festival & Drive-n-Park

The Burkesville Blue Grass Festival is being held on Saturday, September 18th and our members have been asked to cruise-in and park their vehicles at the walking track inside the park.
If you plan on attending, try to have you vehicles there by 10 AM. It is strictly a "Drive-n-Park" event. There will be no trophies, no door prizes and no music provided by the Cumberland River Cruisers. It will be a nice place to park your car while watching the shows and listening to the music.



After 2 PM, several members are planning a road trip to Russell Springs to attend a Ol' Boys Toys cruise-in. The "ol boys" have brought their vehicles to our "Cruisin-The Square" events several times and it would be nice if we could make a good showing by having several members and their vehicles at one of their events. A possible route to Russell Springs and back to Burkesville is below. If you don't make it to the Blue Grass Festival, but want to ride over to Russell Springs, meet at the park in Burkesville by 2 PM.
   

Cruising To Russell Springs

 
The Bluegrass Festival had invited the CRC members to cruise-in and park our cars inside the fence during the festival.

Several members also showed up to drive to Russell Springs for the Ol Boys Toys Cruise-In behind Sonic Drive In Restaurant. We formed a line and left the festival around 2:15 PM. We rode east on KY 90, then took curvy KY 127 north across the Wolf Creek Dam through the rolling countryside. We passed through the edge of Jamestown KY and then into Russell Springs. As we pulled into the parking lot, members of Ol Boys Toys greeted us and pointed out locations for parking. They also let us know they were cooking free hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone that attended the cruise-in. We spread out and roamed through the rows of vehicles at our own pace after registering. Eventually, we gathered together under the awning at Sonic and were talking while enjoying a cold drink.

As the sun was getting lower in the sky, we moved back to our lawn chairs near the cars and waited for the drawings. Julie and Sam Wait were the first club members to be drawn for a door prize, then Marie and Weldon Rowe's ticket number was drawn. The Ol Boys continued drawing for door prizes until they announced the Top Five cars. The drivers brought their vehicles to the announcers tent and were presented trophies. The announcer then called Carol and Dave Neff as the Peoples Choice Winner for their Willy's. They drove to the tent and were presented a nice plaque.

The pictures of some of the vehicles at Ol Boys Toys September Cruise-In at Russell Springs are HERE.
After the presentations, we folded up our chairs and everyone headed back towards Burkesville.
