2008 Car Cruise
Written by Mike Dodge   

In 2004 the Lodge started a new event - a Car Cruise.  This began as a "fun" event, but we quickly realized we could use it as a way to raise funds for the Hole in the Wall gang Camp in nearby Ashford.  This is a Summer Camp for terminally ill children which was founded by the late Oscar Award-winning actor Paul Newman.  For more pictures check out the Lodge Photo Album.

We are fortunate that the Woodstock Agricultural Society lets use the fairgrounds behind the Lodge for this event.

Brothers Ken Salo and Tom Fabian do most of the work coordinating and setting up this event.

This event is now held in the morning, on the Sunday before Memorial Day.  We bill this as our "Breakfast Cruise" and we sell breakfast in the Lodge building.

We used to hold this event in October, but found we were always competing with the Commerce Insurance Car Show which was held just over the state line in Massachusetts.

Unlike some shows, we don't limit entrants to Classic Cars only.
