Cruise the Bay Grants a Wish!

 Calling All Rodders,

Tonight was the last Cruise the Bay of the 2012 season.  As, many of you know our goal this year was to raise enough money thru the 50/50 to Grant a Wish for a local Make A Wish Child!   This year we will be giving our donation to a local Erie County Child.

 Well, thanks to your generosity....We did it!

Tonight we presented a check to Regional Director, Jan Espin Stork
from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, in the amount of $3900.00!

 On behalf of all the organizers of the Cruise the Bay event, We want to Thank You, the cruisers for your continued support.



It's been an awesome season with only two rain dates!  You have been there for every event.  As, we near the end of the cruising season, remember we will be back again in the spring.
Join us next season for more fun. 

 And From Calling All Rodders it has been a pleasure keeping you informed. Thank you All for your continued support. Keep those Cruise events coming in.
See ya at the next car event!

2012 CruiseTown Erie Season comes to an End

Calling All Rodders,

Tonight was the last CruiseTown Erie for the 2012 season.  Even though there were thunderstorms in the surrounding areas, we had a beautiful night for the final Cruise In.

Some of Erie's finest made the trip down to fill the streets with great cars.

This event is enjoyed from people all over the area, Ohio, New York and surrounding PA areas. It has become a favorite for many.

Here are few pictures for you to enjoy!  See ya again next year!

Woodward Ave Dream Cruise 2012

Calling All Rodders,

  This weekend we traveled with friends to Detroit Michigan to our annual Woodward Ave Adventure.   In August of 1995, Nelson House and a group of volunteers looked to relive the hay days of the 50's and 60's when youth, music and Motor City still roamed Woodward Ave. America's first Highway. That year 250,000 people participated, nearly ten times the number expected.  The rest is history! Today, The Woodward Dream Cruise is the largest one day automotive event!! 1.5 million people and 50,000 classic, hot rod, muscle cars etc participate!! A  must see for any car enthusiast! Enjoy the pictures.

Local DJ Bill Mason Needs your vote!

DJ Bill doing what he does Best!

DJ Bill in Edinboro

Calling All Rodders,




DJ Bill Mason

DJ Bill and Wife Beth at the Cruise the Bay Event.

 Many of you who follow the car shows in the area are well aware of DJ Bill Mason from Erie, PA.
  If not let me introduce him to you...

As, his wife Beth will tell you he is the hardest working DJ in Erie, PA.  Her summers are spent on the road with him entertaining a great deal of the Erie community at most of the local car
shows, not to mention announcing at Lake Erie Speedway, and his multi-radio-station jobs. Bill feels so privileged to be a part of all of it, and he is one of the hardest working men I know. Now is the time to vote for him and show him that the community and events he is affiliated with appreciate him too. Please go to www.erieschoice.com Erie Choice 2012, take a minute to register and vote for Bill Mason as our choice for 2012. He is the most deserving man I know and this would make his whole year....Thank You!!

Over the years he has giving unselfishly to you the cruisers, it's time to repay him with your kindness.
Thank you for your continued service to the local community, Rex and I truly believe you deserve this award, Good Luck!
