NEWS AND NOTES
Finally got a dry weekend in Central Ohio. And because of the dry weekend, I'm posting lots of photos. If you attended a show or cruise-in this weekend, there's a good chance your car may be in one of those photos.
Der Dutchman Thursday Cruise-In
The weekly Thursday evening cruise-in in Plain City, Ohio continues to inch closer to the 400 mark. This week 355 vehicles attended the cruise-in. Only two more cruise-in left for this season.
On Saturday the restaurant held its second Coffee and Donut cruise-in of the season. The first one was back in July and was dampened by rain. One couldn't have asked for better weather this Saturday morning. More than 100 cars stopped by to partake in a donut and favorite morning beverage for a buck each.
Cruisin' with the King in 2022
The Mid Ohio Cruisers Car Club registered 40 cars at the Burger King off St. Rt. 31 in Marysville, Ohio on Saturday evening. The monthly show features free registration, door prizes, and a 50/50 raffle. The club presents awards to its 15 "Favorites" at each show.

Other News
- A couple of weeks ago I asked if anyone knew who took Best of Show at the Mechanicsburg First Responders Car Show over Labor Day weekend. Well Terri Miller, wife of Mike Miller, sent me a photo of Mike and his 1970 Tor Red Road Runner convertible. The car is 1 of 179 produced that year.
- Some very sad news. Patrick A. Petrime of Ashley, Ohio was killed Sunday evening when his 1975 Corvette Stingray crashed on Liberty Rd near Home Rd. He had just attended the Dub Pub show in Dublin, Ohio that afternoon. Some of you may recognize his car. My condolences go out to his family.
That's it for this week. A big thank you to Jeff Shankle, Dave Bratton, and Dale Pearce for their help in preparing this week's report.

Hey Kim, wondering if you want to add this one to the list of "Save the Dates" - It is a little outside of the area you typically cover, but its always a nice show. The show is the Fall Festival of Leaves Classic Car Show In Bainbridge, Ohio, on October 15th. It's about a 15-18 minute drive out of Chillicothe down route 50.
It's always a good show, every 3rd weekend in October, and every time I've been there, exceeds 100 cars. As a bonus, you have a decent little small-town festival going on at the same time. Show starts at 10 AM and Ends About 2. Afterwards all participants have the option of joining the classic car parade through town.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the info on the Fall Festival of Leaves Classic Car Show. I just counted seven events in the Central Ohio area on the 15th. I suspect there won't be many interested in driving south of Chillicothe when there are seven events with a shorter drive.
Your comment with the link to the Festival is approved so anyone reading the comment who is interested in attending the Festival can click on the link for more info.
Hey Kim,
The one listed for tomorrow Honeys & Hotrods: Harley Davidson - Sunbury is actually showing 10-8 as the time. I believe it is actually 4-9PM and is the same listing you have Farrow's Hot Rods & Handlebars - Sunbury
Chris
Hi Chris, I think there are two events going on tomorrow at Farrows North. Honey's and Hot Rods is 10 AM-8 PM and overlapping is Hot Rods and Handlebars Starting at 4 PM. At least that's the way I take it.
