On Sunday, August
15th, 60+ Blue Moon Cruisers cruised to the Railroad House
Restaurant in Marietta, PA as arranged by Bob Newhouse. Our
thanks to him for finding interesting places to try. As you can see
from the pictures the atmosphere was great. It was a pleasant drive down Route 441 along the Susquehanna River to the historic landmark. We had reserved parking in the lot directly across the street. Unfortunately the owner was under the impression that we would be "cruising in" on a staggered basis and not one large group all at once. His staff was unprepared and the kitchen was unable to keep up with the breakfast orders. As a result many members waited a considerable time for their breakfast. While most did enjoy the quality of the food and John K. did get his bacon please accept the apologies of the Railroad House and simply remember that we all can learn from a bad experience and that the next experience will be much better. Rick Meisel has designated the Railroad House as the destination for our Dinner Cruise for October 18. The meal will be served buffet style which will be more efficient for a large group and at a reasonable price. Details of the menu will be forthcoming.

Ride into the Sunset - Dinner & Dessert Cruises
While there is a wide variety of advertisers that support the Blue Moon Cruisers by taking out an ad in our Blue Moon Cruiser Directory many are restaurants and other eating establishments. Members have always been encouraged to take their business to our advertisers. Rick and Donna Meisel, have designed a novel and fun way for all members to give back to some of them. Restaurants, drive-in's and ice cream shops have always been a part of our lives and history. Where did you go on your first date in that ole' 52 Chevy back in 1960? I'll bet it was a drive-in restaurant or ice cream stand. Rick and Donna have instituted the Ride into the Sunset series of cruises starting on Monday, May 21, 2007. Where is it written that a cruise can only happen on a weekend?
Next cruise:
September 27 - Monday

October 18 - Monday 7:00 PM

Soda Jerk Monthly Cruises - Please note that due to construction our normal parking areas may
be compromised or modified for the April - June cruises.
Please obey parking attendants and use common sense when parking.
March 26 - Parking Update
BMC Vice-President, Pete Trimble reports the construction has been slow behind
the SJ. We will have parking, but it will be similar to last November. 30 or so
spots just behind the Soda Jerk, the school administration building, and the
Church. Total we can fit is about 200. Since the Blue Moon Cruisers are
well established and known for our cruises at the Soda Jerk the decision was
made to "wait it out" and we have been assured that parking soon will be as
abundant as it was prior to construction and probably even better. Just be
patient for a couple more months.

Blue Moon Cruiser Ron Allyn Swartley for the 5th year in a row had his drag strip record setting 1956 Plymouth Fury on display at the ANNUAL YORK US 30 DRAG STRIP REUNION SHOW held in the huge Toyota building inside the York Fairgrounds. Ron's 1956 Plymouth Fury was the only stock Mopar from the 1950's on display among the 250+ record breaking cars at the show. Drag cars and drivers from all across the country had their famous cars on display. Bruce Larson's USA 1 Camaro, Bud Faubel's Hemi Honker Dodge, Dave Stricklers' Old Reliable 62 & 63 Chevy's, Bill Jenkins' Grump's Toy Camaro and hundreds more. Ron also did a short Elvis performance on stage which included singing " Are you lonesome tonight" on stage to Linda Vaughn the famous Ms. HURST.
Before and after Ron's performance the huge building came alive with Rock and Roll music from the 50's 60's and 70's with George Nye, York US 30's official track announcer doing interviews and introducing songs. The whole building took on a air of nostalgia with the beautiful drag race cars of yesterday surrounded by their famous drivers as the Oldies Rock and Roll music played in the background. Each year the show gets bigger----don't miss it next year!!!!!!!!! Being there is like taking a ride in a TIME MACHINE.!!!!!!!!! ( pictured below is Ron and York's official track announcer. While being interviewed Ron was quoted as saying " THE YORK US 30 REUNION SHOW WAS FIT FOR A KING" !!!
