Click picture to ENLARGE Cruzers hold the POP Cruise Record- 609 Cars For 20 years, thru 2008, our Club had annually hosted the Lakeville Pan-O-Prog Friday Night Cruise. We had built it up to the point where there were 500 -550 cars coming, (and that was with a 1979 & older limit) with our record being 609 one year. Unfortunately, the Lakeville POP Committee chose to make it a button event in 2009 and because of the financial factors & risk involved, we were forced to withdraw from running it as we received no financial support from POP, putting all financial risk on us, and we now, with each car needing a $2 button, we would have had to raise the price, or just give each car a $2 button and take the cost out of our profits, neither of which was acceptable.

A steady stream of cars for our show Click picture to ENLARGE Our Car Show, The Summer Spectacular, is a Car Show/Craft Fair/Swap Meet, at the Dakota County Fairgrounds in August. It's way more than just a Car Show, it is an EVENT. Some have likened it to a mini BTTF's. With 450+ cars, aprox. 100 Craft booths, a good group of Swappers, entertainment like Quality Sounds, Bob & the Beachcombers, Chopper, the World's Wackiest DJ, great food, not just burgers or hotdogs, we also have Mexican food, Pronto Pups, Pork chops on a stick, Chicken items, Pizza, Cheese Curds, Mini Donuts, Ice Cream, Popcorn and more!! The Summer Spectacular has become the largest Show south of the river, and we are pleased to donate profits to charities & scholarships. We are very proud of our Show, and grateful for the participation and the ongoing generosity of our Sponsors, as well as the efforts of all our members that volunteer to work this event, and of course to all the folks who attend & participate in the event because without the attendees there is no event.

WE ARE AN ACTIVE CLUB  We always have time for fun, and we like to just drive the cars. We have a Club Meeting every month. We also have a monthly "Saturday Night Club Cruise", where we meet at a set location and then cruise to a restaurant to eat. We continue this in the winter, but with our "grocery getters" obviously. Many times members meet up on weekends to cruise to car shows together, & then sometimes we just get together at places like Hastings, Anoka or N. St. Paul to attend their cruise-ins.      We also usually have members that will organize a spring cruise, a fall cruise, a summer picnic and a winter banquet for our club members. The spring/fall cruises usually last a whole afternoon (and often into the evening) and run on country roads passing through lots of small towns, giving us the chance to eat, shop, and chat with people that gather to look at our "rolling car show". The picnic is a great time, and the banquet is a meal and entertainment of some sort.      Our main goal is to just have fun with our cars and our friends, and we always welcome the opportunity to make new friends, and welcome new members.

We are proud to be sponsored by the folks at the Apple Auto Group. It is a quality group of people selling and servicing a quality family of vehicles. Our thanks to them for making so much possible.

NOTICE TO CURRENT AND POTENTIAL MEMBERS We don't "require" any volunteer time from our members, but we hope that if you join, you join with the intent of being an active member. This means that you intend to volunteer to help with the "Summer Spectacular Car Show", Sign onto a committee for the Banquet, Picnic, or some other volunteer position. Again, it's not a requirement, but we always can use more help. Thanks.
