The owners of Bruster’s had the lot coned off
when we arrived so the setup of the Fisher House canopy and the DJ canopy was
the only thing we really had to square away.
The Fredericksburg Classic & Muscle Car Club helped by supplying the
DJ equipment and Chip agreed to be the DJ.
The club also helped by the many club members that attended our cruise. The members of Cruisin For Heroes directed
the parking and shared the Fisher House Foundation story while mingling with
the cruisers.
Cruisers began rolling in and soon the parking
lot was getting full. As usual some came
and stayed a while then left to cruise somewhere else. We had about 53 special rides visit the event
by night’s end. We have been blessed by having one of the
cruisers, April Sparrow, also take pictures of the rides that attend. She also documents other cruises and shows
around these parts….it does help to have someone else photographing on a
regular basis…..she shares her images on Facebook as I do so others can see
what we do in our little corner of Virginia.
Melissa, one of the owners of Bruster’s, makes
the rounds of the lot and picks a ride that she likes to be presented with a
nice acrylic award. Kim, Denise &
Crystal run a 50/50 for us that usually have over $120 for the night. We would be hard pressed to have our event
work out like it does without the able assistance of the Fredericksburg Classic
& Muscle Car Club….Thanks
When 7:30 arrived we drew the 50/50 winner (he
gave back his $$ to Fisher House!) then announced the monthly Manager’s Pick….a
very nice ’34 Ford coupe…… I won’t lie….I
was ready for the event to be done….I realized I wasn’t as recovered as I
thought I was and I wanted to get home to take care of The Princess. It would be another 10 days before I would be
almost back to speed….whatever that is for a 72 year old bald guy…hehehehee
