Ogle County Illinois

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.

Meeting

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.

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

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?

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

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.

Cruise Night

Reply #14
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?
