fyi everyone. Ive gotten confirmation from 4wd.com, superchips, and discount tire direct that they all are donating items/products to give away at the event im putting on over labor day weekend. I am also still waiting to hear back from quite a few vendor, manufacturers, and distributors. Keep an eye out for a new thread soon about the event with all the details. I am going to create an official sign up sheet before too long as wheel so everyone can get all the discounts from the bar and the wheeling event.

Its called "Roamer Cruise Night" over labor day weekend in Streator, Il. Its about an hour to an hour and a half South of Aurora, near Ottawa, Illinois. Saturday night is a huge car show with about 600 cars and about 18,000 people. They rope off the entire downtown area and the only vehicles allowed in are ones that are registered for Cruise Night. It is usually 5 bucks but i think they may have bumped it up to 10 bucks, but I am not totally sure. All the bars and stores basically just prop open their doors and people just bar/store hop, starting around 5 until 2 am. The next day we are going to have a wheeling trip at "The Cliffs Extreme Terrain" off road park in Marseilles, Illinois and then again on Monday. I may try to organize a night run there if possible. I am still working out a lot of the details. Aside from the prizes that will be raffled off Saturday night I have worked out reduced admission and camping for the off road park for the weekend. Doing anything with hotels is pretty much impossible because of the demand because of cruise night. I am working with a bar tonight to see if we can get their parking lot for "jeep and offroad vehicle parking only." And more than likely some drink specials. here is a video to watch so you know what to expect that night.

Hey.. any of you guys who may be attending the event I am doing in September... would you guys be interested in doing a night run? We would need at least 10 jeeps and have to schedule it ahead of time.
