Railsplitter Antique Auto Club 13th Annual Mill Car Cruise-In Saturday October 5th

 

[October 03, 2019] 

The Railsplitter Antique Auto Club has once again teamed up with the Route 66 Heritage Foundation of Logan County to host the 13th Annual Car Cruise-In at The Mill. The event will take place Saturday, October 5, 2019, from 11 a.m. to 3
p.m. at The Mill, 738 S. Washington St. in Lincoln. All are welcome to attend and/or to register their car in the show. Registration is $5 per vehicle, and attendance at the event is free. The event was originally scheduled during the Railsplitting Festival, but has been moved to this weekend because of the weather.

All members of the Railsplitter Antique Auto Club, other car clubs, and the public are invited to this fun-filled family event. There will be a 50/50 drawing and hot pizza served at the event.

In keeping with the decades-old tradition of music at The Mill, there will be live music from 11:30am to 2:30pm from Sundown, a great rock band from Armington. This will be the second Mill performance for Sundown, a band that plays classic rock and original music.

The Railsplitter Antique Auto Club has hosted the event for over a decade – during the entire restoration process of The Mill Museum and beyond. This event has raised over $3000 for The Mill over the years. Proceeds from the event benefit both the Auto Club and The Mill.

The Mill Museum on 66 opened in April, 2017, and has an extensive collection of items from The Mill, The Tropics, The Pig Hip and additional Route 66 history from Lincoln and Logan County. There is also a gift shop with t-shirts, women’s apparel, pottery, postcards and more. The Railsplitter Antique Auto Club has been an active organization in downtown Lincoln and hosts cruise-ins throughout the spring, summer and fall, including the Shady Car Show in late August.

They're always looking for new members, so come out to the Mill and join up. This club brings a fantastic array of antique autos for display.
