Cincy area Saturday cruise nights
 

Name...River's Edge Saturday Cruise Nights

Location...River's Edge Shopping Center, across from the Target store in Milford.
Take I 275 to exit 59A (MIlford Parkway..about 3 o'clock on the interstate ring) Go to the first light (River's Edge Drive) and right into the parking lot.

Dates & Times...May through September, every Saturday 6 til 10.

Description...A free cruise night with;
*parking for over 200 cars 8D
*live DJ (this guy's great) :-X10
*goodie bags for the first 50 drivers :-X22
*hourly door prizes :)
*numerous restuarants :9

Kid friendly?...a few people bring em...there is a Marble Slab ice cream shop with dynamite ice cream & a Red Robin restuarant that sometimes has the 'bird' roaming around. You be the judge on this. If your kids don't get bored looking at nice cars and trucks, they'll like it.

NOTE...I've always been on the participant-end of cruise nights, but decided to organize one, and so far we've had about 100 vehicles each night. I'm a one-man-band running this thing, and would sure like the help of a car or truck club. There's lots that could be done if more than one guy carried the ball. Even though I've been posting here on FTE for some time, I just joined the Ohio chapter. Would any of you Cincy-area guys like to get involved? I sure would like to see more cool Ford trucks here. We have a large parking lot, and this would be a great place to meet-up with some of you guys. If you're interested...please call me at 513 831 7600 (days) or 513 734 1679 (nights).
Thanks, :p

Dover Steam Show

Dover, Ohio

Cost and tiime..no idea

It's pretty much all tractor and equipment type show, but I'm taking the Mack down Saturday for awhile. Never been to this show before so I'm flyin' blind.

Truck fest
Summit Racing
9/11/04
9 to 5
Free

Get there early to enter your truck

Athens, Ohio is having a shin-dig this weekend(9-11 &12). Need to remember to get the notes. It is a truck show of such with it centered around strip mining and the restoration of one of the large buckets down there. Sounded like fun so I think I will cruise down. Will be taking the Mack with the '69 F100 in the trailer. I'll post more later.

Figures its this weekend in Athens, I'm heading home on Friday. Dang that stuff happens to me every time.

I know it's late to mention..but this weekend(sept 24-26) Pataskala, Ohio there are having the annual city shin-dig at the city park.

It includes the one cylinder club, antique tractors(including tractor pulls), antique trucks and antique power show(dozers, diggers, etc) which will be running all weekend.

It's a pretty neat show if you're into that stuff. The old cable shovels running is really cool to watch. With some asking, you might get a ride on a dozer or pan?

Come on down/over/up. I'll be there Saturday with my Mack.
