HAMB on the ROCKS #5 - Rockford, IL / Belvidere, IL - Janauary 26, 2013

Kerry Hopperstad is going to host the 5th anniversary of "HAMB on the ROCKS" at the Tilted Kilt and at his shop in Belvidere. If you live in the area and haven't made it to one you're definitely missing out on a temporary cure to the winter blues. We have had people attend in the past from as far north as Green Bay and as far south as Peoria!

The day will begin Saturday, January 26th 2013 at 11:30 am when we will meet at the Tilted Kilt in Rockford for lunch. From there (around 1:30 or so) we will travel to Hopperstad Customs in Belvidere for an open house.

Tilted Kilt (Clock Tower Resort)
7801 East State Street
Rockford, IL 61108

Hopperstad Customs
6860 Imron Drive
Belvidere, IL 61008

This will be the 5th year for HAMB on the ROCKS. It originally started as a small event for HAMBers to shake off the winter blues, but it has really grown the last couple years drawing non-HAMBer hot rodders, street rodders, and other car enthusiasts from all over. I won't be there this year and will miss seeing all of you but I urge you all to get out, see some old friends, and make some new ones.

The Tilted Kilt is located inside the Clocktower Resort right off I-39 in Rockford so it's real easy to get to. From there, it's just 5 or 6 minutes East to Hopperstad's.

There's always plenty of cool stuff to see at Kerry's and everyone who went to the Tilted Kilt said lunch was great!

Kerry said he is looking forward to seeing everyone. Reply to this post so we can get an idea of how many to warn the Tilted Kilt about. Thanks to Kerry and Darlene for hosting the event and thanks to all of you who have made it out in the past. Also take lots of pictures and videos so I can see what I am missing!
