We had a PERFECT January Lake Country Cruisers Car Show

Published on by corvettesLeave a comment

Greetings Cruisers!
   We had a PERFECT Lake Country Cruisers Car Show yesterday! The weather was perfect, and we had 90 cars! A BIG THANKS to everyone who attended.

And if you missed yesterday’s Car Show, we’ll do it again, Saturday, February 14, 2026. 

Our Cruiser of the Month was Brian and Cindy Yacoboni and their beautiful 1968 Mustang.

Thanks to our great attendance, our 50/50 payout was $200! And our winner was Victor Cabrera. Victor’s son was the youngest attendee at the show, so we put him to work pulling the 50/50 winner.

And wouldn’t you know it, after shaking the tickets thoroughly, the young lad pulled one of his Dad’s 50/50 tickets! It’s a game of chance, and it was the Cabrera Family’s Lucky Day!

Our 50/50 runner-up winner was Sylvia Westover (on right). Sylvia took home a $50 gift card for Dock 633!

So, CONGRATS to our winners! 

And thanks again to everyone who came out for a perfect car show! – Scott, Pete, Ron, & Gary

Lake Country Cruisers Saturday Car & Bike Show Starts 10 AM

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.

To download the PDF Registration Form, CLICK HERE. If you know of upcoming car and bike shows, let us know at… lightoak@comcast.net, and we’ll give the event some love on our Coming Events page.

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