 Such an exciting array of beautiful scenery to enjoy on Route 66.
After surfing in the Pacific Ocean and sunbathing on the beach, you
can start your journey along Route 66 and visit an array of museums,
national parks, mountains, deserts, rivers and so many other natural
creations of the landscape that make it so rich and colorful.
However, what makes it extra special is the people. You will meet
the most interesting cross section of Americans, and as you spend
some time talking to them and learning about the history of the
area, you realize what makes America great -- true Americans sharing
a common language so it is easy to communicate and pledge allegiance
together at the beginning of the ballgame as we cheer and have fun
and talk about the weather. What a variety of citizens, from true
American Indians, actual cowboys, gold miners and farmers to small
town folks and big city slickers who live on Route 66. So as you
make your travel plans, pause for a moment and pencil in some time
to embrace the journey.
Who knows, you might find it fun to sleep in a wigwam hut, eat
some good country cooking, watch a rodeo, make a short detour so you
can peer over the mass display of the Grand Canyon, visit the
largest meteor crater in our country, feel a piece of real petrified
wood from the Petrified Forest, enjoy watching the colorful hot-air
balloons soar across the Albuquerque sky, autograph the cars at the
Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo, touch the Praying Hands at Oral
Roberts University, gawk at the delicately restored vintage cars in
museums all along the route, drop down to Branson and kick up your
heels and dance the night away, run your fingers up and down the
stalagmites in the caverns, go fishing where Huckleberry Finn
pursued his adventures along the Mississippi, view where Lincoln
lived, and cruise the canal through downtown Chicago while enjoying
the unique architectural delights.
Of course, there are so many matchless activities that a few
sentences cannot do it justice, but your imagination can fill in the
rest. Now is the time to plan to join and experience the Kit-Cat and
Friends Great All-American Road Show through Labor Day, Sept. 3. The
show started from Santa Monica, Calif., on June 21, the first day of
summer, and is traveling along Route 66 toward Chicago.
Kit-Cat and Friends Great
All-American Road Show
Route 66, an America icon, to celebrate some
of America's most notable icons
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Immortalized in song, on screen and in
the hearts of auto enthusiasts and romanticists, Route 66 is
considered the Mother Road of mid-America and the most recognized
route of all time, initiating a pop culture uniquely its own. So it
is only fitting to select Route 66, an America icon, to celebrate
some of America's most notable icons that are having their 75th
anniversary.

 Among this special group is the famous smiling cat clock with its
"moving eyes and wagging tail," the Kit-Cat Klock, along with the
most revered hot rod, the 1932 Ford High Boy, known as the "Deuce."
And who hasn't reached for a snack made by Frito-Lay or seen a
Cessna aircraft with banners flying behind? Many have used Revlon
products to freshen up with; now look in your kitchen and see which
Rival small electric appliances you have. Also, if you need a
first-class airline, try Alaska Airline -- and the list goes on and
on.
In celebration of the 75th anniversary of some of these fine
American companies, an unprecedented 75-day all-American road show
will enjoy the heartland of America. So come join the fun and be
part of the celebration to honor these iconic symbols of Americana.
However, we should never forget that we owe our freedom to be
able to celebrate to the brave men and women who have served our
country and fought to protect us. So all along the way there will be
special events to honor our veterans and raise funds to assist the
families of our most recent fallen soldiers who have given their all
for us.
Vision for the Kit-Cat and Friends Great All-American Road Show:
To have an all-American event during the summer for the whole family
to enjoy and to do something for others in the American tradition of
giving.
Mission statement: To join together many American traditions in a
summer-long event that will be fun, educational, spiritually
enlightening, economically empowering and uniting of all Americans,
so that our families can experience the specialness of true
Americana.
Theme: Keeping the Spirit Alive -- Celebrating America
Driving tours, car shows, special events and parties for the
kick-off debut of Kit-Cat and Friends Great All-American Road Show
along Route 66 have been planned through Sept. 3.
