Stro's Wednesday Nite Cruise-In
I attended another classic car cruise-in (see the event's web site) last night at the A&W. I haven't processed most of the photos yet, but I did get a photo of the ring leader, Russ Strohmeyer (left -- didn't get the name of his assistant). He emcees each event, and raffles off donated prizes to raise money for the Brent Strohmeyer Memorial Foundation, which gives college scholarships to area students.
I had a bit of a winning streak during the raffle. I bought six tickets, and ended up winning three times. I gave two of the winning tickets to a couple of kids, as did other multiple winners.
As a point of interest, Russ is also an extremely talented professional portrait photographer.
Tomorrow I'll post more photos of the cars at the show, but for now, please visit the handful I have up in a Flickr photoset.

I wish I had your talent for taking photos. Those car photos are fabulous, the angles, etc. I'll just keep looking, getting ideas, and practicing.
This sounds like a wonderful event and for a great cause. I have fond memories of A&W as a kid. That was our family 'eating out' place. Car hops, tray on the window, Coney Dogs and frosted mug.
