Hi..........I am going to try to set up a cruise and meeting at Jay's Drive in located in Oregon, Illinois. I will be including the SCCoA and TCCoA sites in this as well. I will contact the owners of the drive in shortly about this. My wife and I love the Oregon/Mount Morris area and thought it might be a great way to enjoy the area.

The majority of us would be meeting along the way. Our final "in route" rally point would be at the De Kalb Oasis. We would leave as a group and drive to Jay's.
Interested?

Hi Irv....the wife and I will be at White Pines this week end. This event is posted on three sites.........so far. I was not sure when Vicki and Terri open so I mailed them a letter, explaining my idea.
I'll try to stop in, if they are open and discuss it. We don't have a month or date set as of yet. This would be a Thunderbird/Cougar event. I want to be sure they would be open to the idea before plans are set. If not...........I'd suggest we meet at the picnic grounds at White Pines as an alternative.
i can talk to them too if you want. they live about 3 mi
from me. how long are you staying this weekend?
give me a call .-irv toms

We'll arrive Friday afternoon and leave Sunday afternoon. We will more than likely go into "downtown" Oregon. We'll do some shopping and my wife will want to stop in the sewing store down from the drive in. If you should see Terri tell him to expect a letter or us stopping in. Thanks, Ron
they arent open yet. if you want a good all homemade fixins
meal go into polo to dads bar and grille,also known as the
pinecricker cafe.they have breakfast too on sat and sun.
they are on the east end of the one way on mason st. if
interested in meeting give me a call.--irv toms
I know my wife will want to stop at "A stitch in time". (the quilting store in Oregon) We'll more than likely stop there Saturday. We'll be out and about town Oregon/Mt. Morris.
:burnout:
Hey Irv............we'll try to call while we're out there. In the past we've had problems getting "bars" out that way. A "Shop" number? Do you own a business in the area?
irvs autobody in mm[mon-fri]
talked to vickie tonite. they planned on being open
this weekend but got water damge over last weekend.
probably a week or more. they might be around sat
or sun.they havent gotten your letter yet. they are
willing to do something with you.--irv
Thanks Irv........Water damage? at the drive in?
OUCH! Hope all goes well during the clean up.
The letter didn't arrive yet?
Wow, well, we can walk over there Saturday when we go into town.
I may have a trivia test for those who attend,had a friend who had an award business years ago. Might see if Mark will make up some dash plaques for me.
Auto body? Very nice..........worked in a body shop decades ago during high school. Are you down the street from Ciminios?
Thanks again, Ron
east of ciminos , just across the railroad tracks,
on the right, large sign. you staying at the pines?
Yes....we'll be staying at White Pines. Our usual place to go for a get away. Left work a few minutes ago and getting ready to leave soon.
Road Trip :burnout:
We were busy Saturday and took a trip to Dixon as well. I did not see anyone there Sunday when we went to check things out closer.
There looks to be room for 24 cars or so max. I doubt we would fill the lot with that many cars. July was suggested over on SCCoA.
We could not get any bars on the wife's cellphone until we were nearly on RT39/51 Sunday. Maybe another weekend we'll head back for the Sunday Buffet at White Pines and stop in.

The owners have invited us to join them in their first Cruise Night of the season. It will be on Sunday, June 5th. The time is from 5:00 to 8:00, though I doubt they would mind if we showed up a little early.
Any thoughts?
:burnout:
they make room on the street next to them for more
cars too. sometimes across the street also.--irv
Hi Irv............Terry said the 5th of June..............that's a Friday. Must be the 7th. Many of us would like to arrive earlier than 5:00.
We could arrive early and have our usual type of meeting, then take part in the Drive In's event.
The wife and I may plan to spend the night, this is the usual family vacation area to begin with.
So far most of the replys on SCCoA and TCCoA are asking to meet eariler inthe day at the Drive In.
Our usual Sunday meetings start at 1:00.
Those that want to leave with their families (younger kids) can while the rest of us stay.
:burnout:
I'm about to firm up plans with the input from the the other two sites.
