September 12th Newsletter


     
  Hi Everyone,

So how is September treating you all? Have you gotten back into your "Summer's over" routines? Even though it happens every year it can still be a bit of a shock. Kids back in school, baseball winding down, football heating up and reminders of up the upcoming holidays in every store you walk into. But there is one thing that continues even when the leaves change colors and the days get shorter.......Car Shows!!!

And on that note I'd like to wish you all a happy Route 66 Rendezvous weekend.....let's take a look at what's coming up. Over the weekend of Thursday Sept 13 - Sunday Sept 16 is one of the shows I look forward to all year, the 23rd Annual Stater Bros Route 66 Rendezvous in Downtown San Bernardino.

The weekend will feature... Thursday 5:30pm-7:30pm will be Classic Car Night on 101. As the kickoff to the weekend, this is a gathering of vintage Hot Rods and about 80 Woodies on historic Highway 101 between D & I streets. There will also be live music and awards. Friday 7am-12noon is the NoCal vs SoCal Surf Contest at San Onofre Beach. This event pits Woodie clubs from Northern and Southern California against each other in a good old surfing contest. Also from 5pm-7pm is the Wavecrest Welcome Party at the pool and cabana area at the Best Western Hotel on Encinitas Blvd.

Saturday from 8am-3pm at Moonlight Beach (at the end of Encinitas Blvd) is the Granddaddy of all Woodie Meets, there will be about 300 Woodies of every shape, size and description on display. From 5pm-10pm is the Wavecrest Dinner and Auction at the Best Western Hotel at the pool area featuring drinks and a great buffet dinner and an auction featuring high end Woodie items.
