Sunday March 28th at 5pm 2nd Annual Lowes of Flemington Cruise night for MDA

[Dilley]

On Sunday March 28th at 5pm, Lowe's of Flemington NJ will be hosting their second annual cruise night to raise money for MDA. There will be a 10$ per car donation that will be collected upon arriving and 100% of this money is donated to the Jerry's Kid foundation. This money is used to local children with MDA to the Jerry Kids summer camp. Last year at this event we had roughly 80 cars ranging from tuners to muscle cars. We raised just off of this even 1,800$ and over the course of 6 weeks our store raised 16,000$. For every 800$ raised sends one child to camp. This year there will be a local band and every car that makes the 10$ donation will be entered in a "best in show" having a first, second, and third place. The special guest judge this year will be a 7 year old child named Chris from Hunterdon County who suffers from MDA. Chris is one of the children who benefits from the partnership with Lowe's and Jerry's Kids. I will get some pictures up tomorrow from last years event. We are also looking for any vendors on here who would like to donate any parts, apparel, or services for raffle at this event. Vendors please contact my manager organizing the event through pm to me and ill relay the info to him or email at hempele28@hotmail.com if you are interested in donating. Again for anyone who came last year it was a great time. The address for the store for anyone using gps is 150 state route 31, Flemington , NJ 08822. Any other general questions about the event or anything my email is mdilley01@yahoo.com.

[andy78TA]

Yes sir, I am a full time college student but am there a couple weekends a month and during all my breaks and summer. A lot of people make fun of it but I like it. Where do you work??

[BonzoHansen]

Whoever makes fun of that for a weekend summer job is a moron.


Discounts? lol

[Dilley]

why does this start at 5pm? I'd like to go but it's a sunday...plus, at 5pm, its practically dark out already..so most of the show is taking place at nite in the cold, and probably cant see the cars all that well.. i would think this event would be much more successful starting at at 12 noon..just my 2 cents.

I'm guessing people will show up earlier.

[andy78TA]

Unfortunately no. Home Depot does not offer any discounts. It really sucks too because I spend a lot of money there on tools, paint, and hardware haha

we close at 7 on sunday but the march this is because lowe's as a company raises money for jerrys kids for a month end of February beginning of march and we as a store had the idea to do this and it turned out well so we decided to do it again

[BonzoHansen]

[andy78TA]

Thanks,
I unfortunately am now back at school so I can't work on it but I do plan on coming back a couple days during the week to try to get it running.

[andy78TA]

As of 7 PM tonight I got the Trans Am to start and run for about 20-25 minutes. The car is still currently running open headers but if it passes the test drive and full inspection tomorrow morning when I start working on it again I will be hopefully putting the exhaust on tomorrow afternoon and head over to the show

[Dilley]

thanks for everyone who showed up. it was a good time.

[andy78TA]

Haha how many did we have? a whopping 3? It was nice meeting a couple people though

[ThoR294]

yeah... not enough america there :(

[Dilley]

Hey guys this show is coming up again but its the 27th here is the facebook event if anyone is interested
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=204872612872582
and for anyones concerns about american cars this year compared to last year we are working to make it more even

[WildBillyT]

Is this a cruise, show, or both? And is it ricier than a Thai restaraunt? Don't want to show up to the wrong scene. Or show up, drive through the lot, and leave.

[Dilley]

the people who organize dont really know about the car community so they call it a cruise night but in reality its just a show and you wont be out of place that bad ill be there with my 03 cobra my buddy will be next to me with his built 05 mustang there maybe an ls2 gto or two and most of the people around my car love american muscle even if they drive something else so you wont be hated

[WildBillyT]

Thanks. It's only a short drive away so if I get back in time from something in the AM I'll head there.

[WildBillyT]

Got back late so I couldn't make it. Hope it went well.
