1962 Dodge Dart
Owner: S. Brown
Here are the Central Ohio events I've found for this last weekend in May.
Even though it's still listed on Old Ride, I can confirm the Cruising To The Point Show Presented by Auto Smarts Radio has been canceled. The same goes for the S.A.L Spring Fling and Bike Rally in Lancaster.
If this past weekend is an omen for how the rest of the season is going to go, I strongly recommend checking back here often. There were events canceled right before and during the weekend. There were events that changed dates then changed back again, and there were events announced with less than 24 hours notice. By Memorial day my head was spinning trying to keep up with all the changes.
News and Notes:
The 2020 London Strawberry Festival was officially canceled last Thursday. The annual Cobra show that coincides with the festival was canceled a few weeks earlier. The fate of the Strawberry Festival Car and Motorcycle show is still up in the air. As of now, the plan is to still have the show although the location may change. Stay tuned for more info.
In a sign the season may be returning to some level of normality, four events were announced over the weekend. These include:
- June 16 - Cruise-In at the Canal (a weekly Tuesday night cruise-in) - Canal Winchester
- July 18 - Plumwood CCCU Car and Craft Show - London
- August 30 - Car Show at Culp Lake - Springfield
- September 5 - Mechanicsburg First Responders Car Show - Mechanicsburg

Update: Marty Ruiz was kind enough to send the link to the photos he took at the "unofficial" Mount Victory car show on Memorial Day. Marty guessed about 80 cars showed up to support the local shops.

Thanks for compiling these events.
You're very welcome.
Hi Kim, yes the shows are being cancelled or rescheduled, and it is good advice to double check your event before you go. as was the case Monday with the Mt.Victory event. at 9am the carshow portion was cancelled yet other parts of event were still on ? So my grandsons and i got the Nova out and took the drive ,what a surprise ! you would have never known there was a pandemic in effect.. was great turn out of cars for two blocks. looked like a carshow to us ! was great to be out again and to see old freinds and their cars ..
Hi Larry, I'm starting to experience a bad case of car show/cruise-in withdrawal.
From the comments you and others have posted, it sounds like the "unofficial" Mount Victory show turned out to be a success. I wish I could have made it up there but just couldn't work it into my schedule.
I'm really bummed that the Der Dutchman Cruise-in has been postponed indefinitely. It was going to be my first event of the year. Assuming they're still having it, I'm planning to make an appearance at the Marysville meet on Sunday hazmat suit and all. 😀
lol
Hi Richard, as fas I know it’s still on. If anything changes, I update the web site.
