The 26th annual June Jitter Bug is quickly approaching. June 22,23,24th is just over 1 week away. Friday night we meet at Can View Drive-in to watch a movie on the Big Screen, Saturday is open house at John's Bug Shop in Welland in the morning. Saturday afternoon at 1:00pm we meet at Firemens Park in Niagara Falls for the "Niagara River Run" a cruise through the wine region of Niagara on The Lake stopping off at a local winery along the way. The cruise ends up back at Firemens Park where you enjoy a free BBQ sponsored by John's Bug Shop. On the Sunday the gates open at 7:00am for venders, 8:00am for show cars. Spectators are free. Last year we had over 400 registered show vehicles. Games for the kids, Engine Blow and the famous "Clutch Eater" Teeter Toter are just some of the events throughout the day.

Can't camp out this weekend but I'm still planning to roll out early Sunday morning and make the show. Always worth the drive.

Just an update on the show. Please be aware of the construction on Mountain Rd. coming into the show off the QEW. There is major construction and the road is not recommended for lowered cars. You may want to take the next exit off the QEW(Thorold Stone Rd.) and then turn left onto Dorchester RD. This will take you straight to the park. Also, the Saturday morning is open house at John's Bug Shop. Saturday afternoon is the cruise starting at 1:00pm at Firemens Park. This year we will be stopping along the cruise at a local winery and possible chocolate factory, then heading back to the park for a free BBQ. Have fun.
