Calling All Rodders,
Well, there is a lot of things to get to tonight. First of all, we would like to thank all of you who helped with parking and you the participants for making the new parking rules run smoothly tonight. We had 217 cars to park this evening. As you noticed you really get to "cruise the bay" to get parked now but this will help keep traffic flowing and keep our event safer. We now cruise around the back of the park to get to our parking area. We also have opened up the parking area behind the DJ stand for show cars. The spectator parking will be back by the playground area and spectators will walk in from that area. Please follow the parking guides and Do Not remove any barricades. there will be no more parking by the curbs. These guidelines have been set up by the Bayfront Parking Authority and will help keep our show running and keep our participants and spectators safe.
Another big thank you goes out to Dennis Christopher for organizing the food drive for the Second Harvest Food Bank. Thank you for your donations to this worthy cause, it was a great success. We collected 237 lbs of food for the Second Harvest Food bank because of your generosity.
DJ Bill provided the music for tonight's event complete with Christmas hits. The Weenie Wagon provides the menu as always it was yummy!!
Tonight was Christmas in June, and car participants came decked out in their red and green to celebrate. Don't forget to check out the "Gallery" and "Cruise the Bay" page on the website to see what they came up with.
We had three winners, Bob Zewe 1st place, Pat & Beth Fedak 2nd Place, and Mr & Mrs Jerry Cattone 3rd place. Fun was had by all.
Come on down and see what we do for next weeks Monday Night Cruise In at Cruise the bay on the Erie Bayfront.
See ya at the next event!

Cruise the Bay Special Announcement!
Calling All Rodders,
Volunteers needed for the remainder of the season!
Please help keep Cruise the Bay!
Because of the overwhelming number of cars at Cruise the Bay safety issues have arisen that need to be addressed and eliminated. In order for Cruise The Bay to continue, the Port Authority has stated that we need to make changes in how the cars are parking so as to keep all roadways open in the event of an emergency. Beginning this Monday, June 29th, with the help of Port Authority staffing, we will be required to implement new cruiser/spectator parking rules and regulations and to obtain volunteers to enforce them for the remainder of the season. The Port Authority staff will be guiding us through the implementation of the new parking procedures and showing us what we need to do. We will need all cruisers to be observant of the new rules and courteous to the Port Authority staff as these changes are made. The Port Authority staff will only be with us on June 29th, but the parking rules will stay in effect for as long as Cruise The Bay is held and they will be strictly enforced through fines and towing as needed. We need immediately people who will work with the Port Authority to help implement and then to continue to enforce the new parking regulations for the rest of the season. Without people to do this, the Port Authority will not allow us to go on. Please help keep Cruise The Bay; Jack/Judy 814-474-5183; email jzmjjm@aol.com.

Black Diamond Live Band was the musical entertainment for this evenings event. They played many hits from the past for our listening pleasure. If you haven't had a chance to hear them play make sure you come out and see them at many local events this summer.
Jack and Judy are doing a fantastic job at keeping the event running as Erie,s favorite place to be on a Monday night! Don't forget to thank them when you see them for coordinating this event each week, they have many wonderful volunteers that also step up and help each week, with out all of you we would not have a place to socialize with our cars. An event of this size takes alot of time and patience to keep together.
We had all shapes and sizes of cars this week from small British cars, to Big Rigs!
Many different Trucks, and every kind of car and year make it down each week also.
Food is available from the Weemie Wagon they have a special each Monday and it is always very tasty! Plan on attending next Monday Night.

Cruise the Bay Line Dancing Country Night
Calling All Rodders
Well, we arrived back to the Erie area at about 1200 midnight and went off to work today and got back to the cruisin events tonight. Thank you Judy for filling in and writing the blog last week.
It was Country Music night and Line Dancing contests were the fun for tonight. Over 400 plus cars turned out for the event tonight it was a beautiful night and we packed them into every nook and cranny of the Park n Ride!
I believe it was the biggest show yet. Thank you Erie and surrounding areas for your support and participation. Because of you we continue to want to provide a place for you all to meet and enjoy the iron in our area.
The Weenie wagon was feeding the crowds and DJ Bill was providing the dancing music for us. Many joined the fun when the line dancing started. We had three winning dancers, they were Jan Russell, Tom Barron, And Linda Cattoni.. Although I think every one did a great job and made the evening fun.
Don't forget to check out the schedule and join in this weeks events.

Cruise the Bay Trivia Night
Calling All Rodders
While we were away on vacation you all were still cruisin! Jack and Judy do a great job at putting on a great Monday Night event along with all the volunteers that help out. Judy did me a favor this week and supplied the Blog information while I was away...
Monday dawned gray, warm and overcast. It threatened rain all day and of course it waited to arrive at 3:45pm just as we pulled into the Park N Ride to start setting up. It rained pretty good for about 1/2 hour soaking the streets and making the evenings attendance not look too good. But, Jack put the Cruise the Bay sign at the entrance and I began setting up our door prizes, Music Trivia prizes and Bill's DJ area inside the Park n Ride Building. Around 4:30 The Knight Family arrived, the sun started to try to come out and we continued setting up. A few cars began to come looking for food and their door prize tickets and telling us that the roads were drying. The DJ came with lots of optimism he said the radar looked good and we should get the tunes going... outside!! And we did when it was all said and done our evenings sponsor Bob Ore Restoration had their tent set up with a few very nice cars on display; the cars came - about 100 of them; Bill "spun the records"; the Weenie Wagon served their food, and the ticket givers and 50/50b sellers did their thing. All in all it was not the best night we have ever seen, but it was definitely not the worst. Rain or Shine we go on....... Sorry to say we even had a roll back on the scene - as one beautiful car took ill and had to transported to the garage. Looking forward to seeing everyone next week for Country Night when Line Dancing will be the order of business....and Brolks Landscape will be our sponsor. And last but not least the regular and much better writer will be home from vacation. SEE YOU THEN AND HAPPY CRUISING!!
Thank you Judy you did a great job!!

Team Bounce Visits the Cruise the Bay Event.
Calling All Rodders,
Well it was another great event at the Monday Night Cruise the Bay Event. The weather seemed to scare a few people off. But they missed an excellent night to come out, the temperature was perfect and the rain held off until after the event!
We were entertained by some talents young kids, who found a constructive way to burn up that energy!! This group is called Team Bounce and they are a group of kids who skate and dance and entertain the crowds.
Tricks and routines, flips and break dancing, all done on roller skates! More kids need to be involved in this fun activity. They did a great job, and we appreciated their taking the time to come down and show us how much fun they can have on skates.
I know there are people out there who still haven't taken the time to come down on Monday Nights and join us on the bayfront. You won't be diappointed come on down and check out what we have planned for you next week. Check the schedule on the Cruise the Bay page of the website for a listing of the entertainment at the next event.
See at the next car event!
