Sunday July 11th - Cruise & Shop Car Show (Trucks welcome)

In order to ensure the continued success and quality of the Merrickville Cruise & Shop these minimal funds are necessary.

ADDITIONAL PARKING!!
To ensure there is lot's of excellent parking spaces this year, we have the use of the community center, as well as, a large beautiful piece of property beside the Village Metalsmiths for car clubs. This will ensure that there will be no over-crowding.

If you are thinking of coming in a larger group and would like to park together contact Bob Duncan and he will try and pre-arrange a spot for you.

8 1/2 x 11 Framed Show Photo to the First 400 Registrants.
These show photos are unique full-color representation of Merrickville and the Merrickville Cruise & Shop. (By popular demand, we decided to replace the dash plaques with the show photo this year - we hope you enjoy!). Dash plaques from previous years can be purchased at the show.
