Welcome to Penticton & Wine Country - have a wonderful stay!

Our SSRs will be on the grass at Rotary Park Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Security will be on site, eliminating the logistics of parking at the hotel.

Registrations for the 2015 Beach Cruise was 715 cars. We can accommodate up to 750 cars. 2015 was close to a sellout.

The setting is spectacular. The car show is staged from the Lakeside Resort Hotel (The long pier at the center of the photo) all the way to the SS Sicamous, at the far right, just before the river channel.

We will be using the park area to the right of the hotel on the photo below. We'll be just off the beach, on grass, across from Gyro Park, the outdoor entertainment area and concessions.

We opened the Beach Cruise website earlier this year, and already have 9 early registrations from SSR Fanatics. Hoping for a great turnout for the 10th anniversary of SSRs coming to the Beach Cruise.

With no International Event in 2016, a good year for long distance Fanatics to join us.
 
#5 · (Edited)
It's about time you replied - thread's been open for 9 hours.:bwekk:

First, 2 1/2 hours doesn't count as long distance.:bwekk:

No problem paying with Canadian funds - IOUs not accepted.

You'll have to get Nathan to sign up before you can request a seat in his tent.

Adding Cash to the list.

Sure hope we can get some of those Southern Alberta & Saskatchewan SSR Fanatics off their butts! Be nice to see more of those folks. I hope ttarob will come up with some new jokes! I'm thinking, they think, that the world ends at the AB/BC border, either that or they think they have to go thru customs to get to Penticton. Or maybe they're scared to drive thru the mountains!

Adding you to the list - hope Bernie's recuperation goes well.

scott and jean from orcas island will there
Adding you to the list.

Pretty good first couple of days. Everyone registered so far has been to the Beach Cruise before, some have never missed it.:thumbs
 
#17 ·
So, please sign us up for 2016 !!

Tickled Pink : Sue & Dave, Bellevue

:cheer::cheer::cheer:
Sue
Awesome, Sue. Glad Dave enjoyed himself.

Are you up for a bit of cat herding?:glol

Peter and Sherry are in waiting for Hotel to call back to reserve a room.:blue:
Hi, Peter and Sherry

Glad you're able to join us. Great to see new faces, and happy to see a Pac blue coming.

The Lakeside should have plenty of rooms left - increased our allocation to 30 rooms, and confirmed with them again yesterday.

Let them know you are with the SSR Fanatic group - that will get you our group rate.

Call me at 250-490-7676 if you have any questions or need more information.

I will do a separate thread on this but we will have a draw for vendor parts again.
There will be a change though - HaHa!
Last year I did not buy tickets for the auction but Steve Fenner (LT Struts) donated his 2 tickets to me.
He had to leave 2 hours before the draw - pretty sure he was a bit dismayed after, but anyway, I wound up winning the darn thing - about $600 towards parts from our vendors.
As it turned out the money was all spent on hood, deck and roof struts back to Stephen anyway - just maybe not the way he envisioned it!

Just to save the embarrassment, the difference this year is, not only will I not buy tickets, I will not accept free tickets - but I will accept cash donations! HaHa!

Anyway, look for a thread about a cash draw for parts from one of our acknowledged parts vendors. This will be open to absentee ticket holders as well.

I drew the winning ticket. Blindly picked up several stubs from the draw box, let all but one slither through my fingers, and read out the winning name.

Just want to confirm there was no bribery involved. It really did happen that way.
 
#22 ·
Please welcome Ken and Laura from Princeton BC and their black 2005 SSR. They will be joining us for the 2016 Beach Cruise.
 
#24 ·
Hey Gordy, How about you buying me a couple tickets, And If I win I will give you half of what I win. That way both of us will be winners and you will reap half of what you paid for the tickets you gave me. Actually this sounds a little wierd. I must be dreaming, Or Captain Morgan Rum Is at It again??????????? See Ya In June. Donny Two Shoes, Last of the Flat Footed Dancers.
 
#28 ·
Glad you're coming, Peter. Let me know if you have a co-pilot.
 
#30 ·
Fantastic! Glad you're comin' Rus! That makes 7 so far from the Edmonton area, and Cash knows, that our group from Northern Alberta are the best Fanatics you ever want to meet, so he always joins up with us at Kamloops! If we can get Kyle to duck in at Clearwater, we'd have 9, and we're still not done re-cruiting Fanatics to make the trip....that's my goal in 2016 to have a dozen roll in to Zia's on Thursday night!
 
#31 ·
Hi, Rus

Glad you're joining the Edmonton convoy. Adding you to the list - will start the Zia's thread in the next couple weeks.
 
#32 · (Edited)
Peter and Cindy (Dragn) will be coming, bringing our Silver SSR.
My son Paul and his son Tyler (who came last year) will also be joining us. Paul will be bringing our 1940 Cadillac. Booked hotel and registration completed. Is it too late Ray to have our registration number? Look forward to another great weekend in Penticton. Thank you Ray for all you dedication and hard work towards this event.
 
#33 · (Edited)
Glad you're going to make it again this year. Three generations of your clan - awesome.

I kept your favorite number on hold for you - assuming your favorite number is still 13?????

Tickledpink coming in Thursday for Zia's

Hi Ray,
Dave and I are coming to Zia's on Thursday and hopefully have a few of our SSR family joining in as well !! At present we are attending a PCMA Convention in beautiful Vancouver with many of the people Dave trained worldwide over the years. Its been quite amazing to be inside the incredible Vancouver Convention Center and see how they set up and prepare programs, receptions and dining for over 4000 people.
Will reserve rooms when we get back home !!

:cheer::cheer::cheer:
