"25 YEARS!!!"
"Cruise to the Gap"
Classic, Custom and Antique Car Show
May 18th, 2008
2008 SHOW FLYER LINK

25 years and going!!!
This year marks the SILVER ANNIVERSARY of the ever-growing "Cruise to the Gap" and we expect another record showing!  We're officially a Classic…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last years show featured the "Benefit for Bobby" to support our local hometown hero Sgt. 1st Class Bobby Ehrig, a 1991 graduate of Pen Argyl High School, who was severely burned during his second tour of duty in Bahrain, Iraq.  SFC Ehrig visited his hometown and friends with his son Tyler and remembers the day as one of the best days of his life (next to his family, of course) and we want to thank all you who were a part of it.

This year, however, we return to our roots.  This years "Cruise to the Gap" will go back to what makes our show so special, YOU.  We are focusing on Antique and Classic Cars and Trucks and making the day great for the best cars in the area.

The original gang of show organizers, those fellas who put it together from 1983 to 1996, including our famous 1992 show coinciding with the Wind Gap Centennial that brought in over 750 cars are coming back to put together another GREAT TIME for all!

Games, contests, demonstrations and more will be part of the show, not to mention a great Goodie Bag and one of the biggest raffles ever, including a door prize giveaway of a brand new engine by AJS Engines of Bath, PA!

AJS Engines master engine builder, Andy Koehler will be building an engine at the show and will handing out 10 keys to 10 lucky participants.  One of those 10 key holders will go home the proud owner of a BRAND NEW ENGINE!

"Cruisin' PA" PBS Special will be available at the show!
Remember the PBS film crew that was taking video at the 2007 show?  Well they've completed their taping, editing and narrating and the Wind Gap "Cruise to the Gap" is now preserved in history in this DVD special produced by award-winning WQED producer Renee Colburn, who may be on-hand for autographed copies!  The video features only a select few car shows from around the state, and OUR SHOW, YOUR CARS were selected as one of the best!

DVDs will be available only on a pre-paid, advanced order for $35 at the show.  Order forms will available at the show to order through PBS.  For orders, click on this link and download the order form and mail to the address BEFORE APRIL 15th.

2008 Entertainment
The 25th Annual Car Show will have LIVE ENTERTAINMENT on the main stage, featuring local favorite "The Starter Dance Band", playing your favorites from the 50's and 60's, from the dancing sensations to the boy meets girl love songs.  Last years show had this fantastic band located under the pavillion, but due to the great response, we will have them on the MAIN STAGE!!!

Local DJ Scott Edwards will be spinning tunes in the Main Field to your request, keeping you informed of all the days events.

Trivia Contests and Dance Contests will engage the crowd and "Cruise to the Gap" show history will be on display.
Last years bands were all donated for the Benefit for Bobby to be a part of the program.  We appreciate their performances, but this year we will maintain our Classic theme and keep it 50's and 60's for the show.

The pavilion will be returned to its normal eating and relaxation area for spectators and participants for your relaxed enjoyment.

WEATHER UPDATE FOR 25th Anniversary Show on MAY 18th, 2009

 

Up to the moment, the WFMZ Accuweather hour-by-hour forecast shows sunny skies for the majority of the show!  Many forecasts are showing variable cloudiness with the chance of showers beginning after 5PM.  With that, we expect near record turnout of the finest vehicles ever on the road, including yours!!!

 

Be assured, WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY and any looks of showers, we will start the ceremonies to get you home before the showers begin.  WE CARE ABOUT YOUR CARS.

 

Remember, one car entry will win the engine being built at the show by Master Engine Builders AJS Engines of Moorestown (Bath, PA).  Don’t miss this opportunity!

 

Also, this years show is being filmed by WLVT for showing as part of their TEMPO programming locally, so don’t miss out and be a part of this special 25th Anniversary Cruise to the Gap!

 

With many special events, including a showing of the Cruisin’ Pennsylvania DVD, filmed at the show last year, a special Hahn pumper used in the 40’s by Pen Argyl’s Lookout Fire Company, and a special race car section, the show is geared to be a fantastic day!

 

Bring your cars, bring your appetite for horsepower and definitely, bring a camera!!!             See you at the show!
