Save our Shriners Hospital in Erie, PA

Calling All Rodders,

Sunday was a great day to come out and support our local Shriner's hospital. They had a great turn out of car owners from our area, at their Hospital Celebration Day. There was food and music, tours, even chair massages.

We in Erie take for granted the wonderful facility we have in our own backyard. Many families travel great distances to receive the exceptional talents of the doctors, nurses, and staff at our local Shriners Hospital. I have personally experienced the care from this facility when our son was born with club feet and other problems. The staff and hospital was a God's sent!

The facility has advanced so much since 1981 when our family was blessed with their help. As you may have heard there is talk of them having to leave our area. I for one do not want to see this happen. I have post photos and information on the web site so that every one can have the opportunity to help out.

Please make donations to:
Save our Shriners Fund
P O Box 3616
Erie, PA 16508
814-440-6119

Please visit the website for more information on how we as a community can help save this wonderful hospital, our children thank you!

See ya at the next car event.

Classic Iron Conneaut Lake Do Woop

Calling All Rodders,

Saturday was the day to head down to Conneaut Lake Park. The Classic Iron Car Club did an excellent job in putting together another great year of Do Woop at The Park.

It started Friday Night from 6-9 with music and cars and fun for everyone carried over to Saturday & Sunday's event from 12-6. Each day bringing in 100's of cars from all over the area.

In the past this club has donated more than $17,000.00 to the restoration of the Park in hopes to keeping it up and running. There is a portion of the park that is not yet up and running but not because the people of this area are not trying to keep this historic park in operation. Many of us grew up spending alot of family time at this park and it would be a shame to see it end.

This club also runs a Friday Night Cruise In at the park. Every Friday night thru out the summer months. It you want to see some new and old cars from our area make a point to try and get in at least one Friday night in Crawford County.

If you missed this event they plan on doing the same Do Woop over Labor Day weekend plan to be there you won't be sorry, They also hope to have more of the park operational by then come on down and join the fun!

See ya at the next car event!

Cruise the Bay Blessing of the Cars 2009

Calling All Rodders,

Tell me Erie wasn't ready to start cruisin!

Opening night 252 cars participated in tonight's event. We started lining up at 5:00pm for our spot in the Park n Ride facility on Erie's Bayfront Highway, for the Annual Blessing of the Cars by Deacon Bob Ball and Flag Ceremony held by the American Legion Post 773.

Cruisers came to enjoy local car enthusiasts and had the added advantage of having their cars Blessed for the cruisin season. DJ Bill Mason was on hand for our listening pleasures and the Weenie Wagon was ready to serve up dinner and refreshments.

The weather co-operated and made tonight"s Cruise In a success. If tonight participation is a sign of what is to come we are headed for a great year! Make sure you spread the word and invite your friends down to the Bayfront on Monday Nights to enjoy one of the best Cruise In's in the area! Remember this years donations will be going to the Make a Wish Foundation.
Come on down enjoy the cars and help the community.

See ya at the next car event!
