The Car Show part of “The Encounter” will run from 1 to 3 PM.
Have an AMAZING birthday party for AMERICA! – Scott, Pete, & Ron

Greetings Cruisers,
Saturday, May 10, 2025, will be our last Lake Country Cruisers Car & Bike Show for the season. Our shows will resume on Saturday, October 11, 2025.
Have you noticed that our beautiful winter and early spring weather is behind us? Yes, now it’s HOT! So, this Saturday’s Car & Bike show will officially start an hour earlier, 10 AM to 12:30 PM. We don’t want anyone melting!
Also, we are anticipating a lot of motorcycles at the show. American Legion Post 25 now has an official Legion Riders Chapter. Their first monthly meeting is this Saturday at 10:30 AM. We have let the Riders know that they are welcome to the Lake Country Cruisers Car & Bike Show. There’s room in the parking lot for everyone.
If you are an American Legion member, you can be a Legion Riders Supporter for just $15 a year. Then you can wear the “Legion Riders Supporter” rocker on your shirt sleeve. Even if you don’t have a motorcycle. We love machines at Lake Country Cruisers; two, three, four, six, or eight wheels!
As we move through the summer months, as car and bike shows pop up, we’ll let you know what’s happening and when. The Caladium Car & Bike Show is scheduled for Saturday, July 26, 2025.

See you this Saturday! – Scott, Pete, & Ron

Legion Riders love to get in the wind and go places together. As the Post 25 outfit schedules Poker Runs and other fund-raiser riding events, we will let you know. If you are a member of the American Legion, you can be a Legion Riders member for only $15 a year!
So, if you have a two or three-wheeler ride, let’s see it at the next show!
