The 16th Annual Canyon Cruise, sponsored by Wheel Smith and American Flyer Bicycle, was held on June 7, 2009 at Canyon R.V. Park in Yorba Linda, CA. The Classic Cruisers of North Orange County pick this park for their show because it is so comfortable with large shade trees and lots of grass to park the cars. The shade makes picture taking a little difficult. There I go whining again. Quite a few vendors where on hand to display their wares. The weather was very nice with temperatures in the mid 80’s. Many people had brought picnic lunches or were barbequing. Several food vendors were on hand for those that didn’t bring their own. Over 200 pre-’72 Hot Rods enjoyed the live DJ, opportunity drawings and games.

Thanks for the Show!
