Not too sure where I'm going,or when. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Canadian Nationals is usually the weekend after the Syracuse Summer Nationals,
we'll see how the weather and my job situation works out.

Shane 6 knows how to put on a fun event,but that is a LONG drive from here. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Ray might be going,maybe.
Psycoarts will be going.

Officially.. its a one day show.. unofficially.. we are hoping to have pre- and post- pileup parties at a local bar.

the official date for 2004 is October 9th.

Another awesome show to hit is the Cheaters Car Club show in Milwaukee. There are some awesome cars.. and great people.. not to mention good food.
You will have to ask a cheater on the exact date.. i think its mid early september.

I second the one that the Yspi Area rodders put on Sunday May 2nd.. Good show and shine in a very nice park. Great resturants within a nice block or two walk from the park. It's the first one of the season for most of us around here. Lots of folks bring out what they've been working on in the garage all winter.

The following weekend is a large show in Coldwater, off I69 south of I94. I'll be there on Sunday if it's not raining.

There's one in Midland in mid-May I believe but I don't know the exact day. It's also a large one with lots of vendors and swappers.

Another "event" to put on your calendar would be my annual Hot Rods and Harleys Pig Roast. It's Sat June 5th. More info coming up when the time gets closer.

BilletProof-Detroit is Sunday June 6th

The Canats this year are being held in Owen Sound, whereever that is. Up near Toronto perhaps? Here's the link to the 2004 Canats (http://www.canats2004.com/)

The Hunnert Car PileUp is a must attend, don't miss under any circumstances, event. There will be quite a few from Michigan attending. We'll plan it so a bunch can cruz there together.

Denise, The Michigan Antique Festival and Auto Show in Midland is June 5-6. Looks like some choices are gonna have to be made. Personally I'm kinda leanin' toward Billetproof cuz Midland is 3 times a year. (Other dates are July 24-25, Sept. 25-26)

A show I haven't been to in a while but was cool is the James Dean Memorial in Fairmont IN. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif The show is around the last weekend in Sept. (I got to see his gravesite and the house he grew up in last time)

Does anyone know if there is still a show in Marshall MI just before the 4th of July. That show used to be fairly big. (1000+ cars)

PS MikeO where in MI you from???

Not sponsered by but a must for the Knuckles! Hopefully we will get all of us there for the first time to show our cars. I'm awaiting the registration forms right now! Jeff I got a Knuckles shirt from Chuck last week with a logo on it. I'm not sure if it was one Nick designed or not.

I don't think He means to say "CAR FAIRY"...! (unless you wear tights and a TwoTwo with your little dog Toetoe too!) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

But he means the new "CAR FERRY"...! http://www.carferries.net/ This will cut some time off the trip if you're coming in from Michigan!

Wouldn't that be a fun cruise..., fifty hotrods on board ship going across the Puddle for a show!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Fiesta of the 50's car show put on by Larry Ryder, moved from Marshall Mi, to Centerville, Mi..It is held at the St Joseph County fairgrounds will be July 2-3-4.
It is my understanding that the town of Marshall, Mi also has a show at the same time, in the old location of Fiesta.

There is the National Hot Rod Reunion in Beech Bend Park, Bowling Green, Ky June 18-20th

KKOA's show in Lancaster, OH The flyer states it is July 22-25. But the web site says its 15-16-17-18 I am not sure which is correct. Possibly Mick (straykatkustoms) could claify for anyone that might be interested

A really nice show, since it was sold 3 or so yrs ago is the Rebel Run, now held in Lima, Oh it is at a beautiful fair grounds and has really grown in size since it moved off of Dean weekend, it is the weekend before James Dean so that would make it sept 17-18-19, cant locate the flyer right now, but I believe it may even start on thrusday.
this show has become on of my favorites!!!!

then James Dean in Fairmount on the 24-25-26 and also the Ducktail Run in Gas city, In.is the same weekend.

all nice Kustom shows, in my opinion http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
