2nd Annual Fuel the Cruzers Fundraiser
Saturday, June 13, 2009

The History Cruzers would like to thank everyone; visitors, car owners, sponsors & contributors (to view a list of the contributors, click here) and many volunteers that made our second "Fuel the Cruzer's" Fundraiser a fun time for all. The turnout was lighter then we hoped for, but the food and music were both fantastic. Our raffle and silent auction were a great success.

Once again, we can't thank Kurt, Jean, their family & an awesome staff at "K & J Catering" enough for their unwavering support for their gracious donations of the hall, food and many items for the raffle, not to mention the Grand Prize, a week stay in Palm Desert, California.

Our great friend Del Howard from La' Garage & Gallery was our MC for the night and what great work he did! Thank you Del.

We could not have been so successful without the unselfish donations of so many contributors, both private and commercial. Many of our local sponsors go above and beyond to support our group, we cannot thank them enough. The music was fantastic as always from the "UnReliables" who are incredible car show friends and always a great band.

Lastly and foremost, none of this show could be possible without the "Yellow Shirts" (The History Cruze volunteer staff). The group of volunteers that run the show are our most important asset. Without the undying support of them, none of us would have a Car Show to come to on Friday's.

When you see them on the street, thank them for all their hard work and long hours.

Please enjoy the slideshow from the 2009 fundraiser...
