 When the sun did shine on occasion, the weather
outside was more comfortable. The problem was the sun just didn't
shine often enough. However, it didn't seem to stop those who were
interested in joining in the activities at the Mill on Route 66
Museum.
Outside, the Railsplitter Car Club was hosting its
annual Mill Crusie-in, and a good number of vehicles were on display
for visitors to enjoy. As folks milled about the parking area behind
the Route 66 attraction, they would stop from time to time to visit
with car owners or take a closer look at what was "under the hood"
of a particular vehicle.
When it got too chilly, visitors then ventured inside where it was
warmer and enjoyed live entertainment.
In the first part of the day at the Mill on Route 66 Museum Car
Cruise-in, the live entertainment inside the mill building was Danny Tackett and
his Pea Pickin' Orchestra.

As Tackett and the band played familiar tunes, the crowd inside
the building found a good place to sit for a while or stood in the background
tapping their toes to the music.
There was a raffle, and items on sale inside, including boxes of pizza for folks
to take a slice at a time.
Throughout the day, those in attendance enjoyed looking at the cars outside and
also taking in the laid back atmosphere inside the museum.
