Garden State Crew-zers

We have been invited to help celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Liberty Corner Fire Company by participating in their parade.  We all love parades and this will be followed by an all day Family Fair at the fire house.  The parade kicks off at 11:00 so I figure we should be there around 9:45 to find out staging area and get all our PTs decorated.  Please check the forum for directions and updates.

Date:  Saturday, September 25, 2010

Time: Staging at 9:45-10:00 – Parade kicks off at 11:00

Place: Liberty Corner Fire Company
95 Church Street
Liberty Corner, NJ

Only a little more than a month to go before we will be hosting Shore Thing 10.  Please come out and help us celebrate hosting a decade of New Jersey’s Largest PT Cruiser Show!  Still plenty of time to get your registration in!  We will accept registrations right up to show day, but the dinner order numbers will have to be finalized by September 5th.  Event T Short orders have been placed for all pre-paid registrants.

At this time, we anticipate that this may well  be our final Shore Thing Event!   The club will continue and all our other events, and many new ones, will go on.

We hope to see all our PT Friends and Crew out at this event in September, please visit the Shore Thing page, or visit the forum for more information and registration links.

Metuchen High School is having a car show to raise funds for their Project Graduation. It is being organized by the guys from the slant 6 club? It has 10 classes and we loosely fit into one but I would not expect this to be a trophy opportunity as the kids are judging. However, it is for a good cause and there will probably be some real nice cars there.

It looks like if we want to park together as a club, we are going to have to meet up somewhere and go in together.

Thanks go out to John L for finding this event for us, lets see if we can get a few cars out and have a good time?

Gloria Peles has been trying to get us into the Flemington Memorial Day Parade for some time and they told her TODAY that we are in. I know it is the day after our Edison parade but for those that are local (or can not make the Sunday Parade), this might be right up your alley. We are to be at the Walgreen Drug Store (which is located at the corner on State Route 31 and Church Street) at 9:00 on Monday, May 31, 2010.

A bunch of us went to this show last summer. A nice show and the Fire Department people were all very nice. It is way up in North Jersey. Maybe some of our North Crew want to make it again this year?

Doing a new Memorial Day Parade this year in Edison, NJ.  Gary set this one up and said it is a very nice event.  Registration is now open on the event page here:  Memorial Day Parade

After bouncing around all week, it looks like today will be partly cloudy with a high near 60. Not the perfect forecast we were hoping for but it will have to do. It is Spring, after all, not Summer yet, so we are going to call it a go, just bring a light jacket and we will see you at the park.

Review: Turned out to be a pretty good day, nice and warm when the sun was out and the wind died.  Had a great time and got caught up with everybody.  Thanks everyone for coming out!

We just received this year’s registration forms for this event.  For the newbies, this is a small town show that draws up to 350 cars!  Lots of really nice antiques and classics, they have a street fair with craft and food vendors and sell everything blueberry, from the berries to cakes, pies, bagels and ice cream.  Information on registration page HERE
