20th Annual Penquis Cruise In

Having to go to a family reunion on Saturday was bad. Seeing people that you have not seen in 30 years was worse. Having it in Hermon was almost convenient. But like every where in the great State of Maine the roads really suck. Little old ladys, who smell funny, were out in force and sitting way to close.

Then Sunday came and it was a reunion of a different sort.

The 20th Annual Penquis Cruize In put on by the Penquis Cruizers is a blast. It featured, Dash Plaques, good food from the Lions, two 50/50 raffles, an auction of new and used items and 5 awards ( 2 distance awards, best club award, best resto in progress and an NSRA Safety award. All for the low price of 3 bucks a head and I mean everybody pays 3 bucks a head to enter, including spectators. This year they even threw in a bonus, Rain for free. Who would have thought? But it did not deter the Car Buffs in the area, as about a 100 cars showed up and even stayed through the rain.

Be aware of one thing the road from Dexter to Dover-Foxcroft is absolutely the worst road I have been on in years and was slated for repaving. Guess which project got cut by the DOT? Also the Cruise in is going to be run by the local PTO and might be a little different next year.

But you never know until you try it.
