April showers bring May flowers, and Car Cruises! The Blood, Sweat, and Gears of the Illinois Valley hosted there first cruise in Peru, "The Culver Butterfly Cruise" on May 3rd, 2006. The cruise was a little iffy @ first, but Cruise Chairperson, Diz Demes and crew pulled it off anyway with a nice start of about 50 cars, all beautiful, and a first run for Bob Fishers 50 Style Pontiac Kustom and also Travis Allen 62 Pontiac. Bad Dog Fisher supplied the 50-60's Style Cruise music with a little competition from Bill Shermans Hemi Coupe! And believe it or not we even had a train. Charles T supplied his Santa Fe Engine to the scene. Man did that stop traffic coming down the road!!!
