Good news! I have preliminary plans in place for the day's activities. Our cruise is scheduled for Saturday, April 27th. Several of you have expressed interest in attending, but now I am ready to finalize the arrangements. So even if you contacted me before, please confirm again per below.
PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE
11:00 - 1:00
Rosie's Diner - Rockford
An area will be roped off in front of the diner to park the birds, for show and photos. A table will be reserved inside for the cruisers for lunch. We may "water down" the lot if we wish, to get better photos. I will try to have room enough so we can park the cars at random angles, the better to show the cars. Local enthusiasts may show up for a peek, as I have invited Rosie's to advertise the event if they wish.
1:00 - 6:00
Cruise to Saugatuck (approx 45 minutes). They will have enough angled parking reserved by Wick's Park on Water Street along the river for all cruisers. We can stay with the cars and visit, do some fun top-swapping if desired, shop in the local arts stores, or sample the local snack food.
Later in the afternoon, those who wish can gather at a pre-arranged restaurant for dinner, or do their own thing.
6:30 - Those wishing to may join a cruise back to Rosie's Diner for an end-of-day photo op at dusk with the neon diner lighting on. This is a definite time to water down the lot for some great shots. I plan on having a nite-cap of cherry soda! Sunset is 8:39 per US Naval Observatory, so I think we need to plan on being there at 7:30 to begin setting up for pics. Again, they will rope off an area if we intend to return. I must say, the shots I have seen there of classic cars taken at dusk are awesome.
Anyone wishing to attend is welcome to join us, especially those awaiting their cars. Please send me the following information by email to tbird2002@chartermi.net (not the one listed in my profile).
Your alias - please give posting name
Your e-mail address
Names - each person attending please
Address - I will send you a schedule and maps
Phone number - (optional) so I can contact you if any last minute changes occur.
Car color - if you intend to park in the reserve areas and show your car.
I will finalize the reservations with Rosie's and Saugatuck once I know how many are attending. Please post any commments or suggestions here.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
