Cruisin’ With the Classics, April 13
Eight Dreamers made the short trip to Rincon for the Dixieland Cruisers "Cruisin with the Classics" annual show. Great weather and great new venue.
Dreamer member and road clean up veteran (also Dixieland member) Crawford Baker was hard at work parking us all. No one will question you now why you weren't at the clean-up.
Over 140 classics of all varieties. If you like "Ole School" this was the show to attend. Hence the competition was tough but Steve Neczypor was able to capture enough votes to take home a TOP 40 with his '70 Challenger. Congrats !!
