Monday July 12, 2010; We lost a dear sweet friend as well as fellow car member.  Donald (HOT ROD) Ashby. He lost his fight to cancer. He will be terribly missed. HOT ROD was one of our first members and was always happy to participate with our events. Last year we all went to Pigeon Forge for the annual "Shades of the Past" car show. We all had a great time and had already made plans for this years trip. Hot Rod will be so very missed. He loved old cars as much as trucks (which was  his life).

On a very personal note let me say again how very much we will miss our great friend although we are Thankful that he will not be suffering anymore.   We will always remember our great times with him and will miss his wonderful laughter.   

 "WE LOVE AND MISS YOU HOTROD!!"

The Back To OUR Future Car Show has been CANCELLED!!! Due to LACK of Interest and LACK of SPONSORS from our Lynn Community.

We had a great turnout this month with 26 people attending. We had a great cruise and enjoyed catching up with everyone.

Friday April 29th thru Sunday May 1, 2011, We the Winston County Cruisers attended the annual Blue Suede Cruise in Beautiful Tupelo Mississippi. We arrived at this show with heavy hearts due to the Tornadoes that had ravished Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, but were soon excited and overwelmed at the site of all the Beautiful Old Rides and this fantastic  Show. This show is always one of our favorites and this year was GREAT! We had several members that attended this event and everyone had a blast as always. Lots of great old music and a fun filled weekend for the whole family. If you are one of the few that have never had the opportunity to enjoy this event, I highly recommened you try it out next year. I promise you won't be sorry. Check out our pictures in the photo gallery and remember to click on view as a slideshow to hear the great old music while you browse the pictures. Happy Cruising!!

Saturday April 9th, 2011, was the date of the 33rd annual Railroad Festival in Amory Mississippi. This was the first time we have been able to attend this show and it was well worth the wait. It was set in Beautiful Historic downtown Amory. The town is beautiful and full of great old history. We parked directly across from "Bills Hamburgers" this place has been there since 1929 and is still up and going strong. I think at last count they registered 196 vehicles. LOTS of vendors and some of the nicest people you could ever meet. Skipper Tillery (from W.C.C) took home a 3rd place trophy and Barry Sealy (also a W.C.C) took home a 1st place as well a BEST OF SHOW trophy. For those who have never been to this event I HIGHLY recommend you give it a go next year. I know I will definitly be back. THANKS AMORY, for having us out. We sure enjoyed it.

Thank You to all who came out in the RAIN to support us Saturday June 26, 2010. Even though it rained and our food was not to good, we had a pretty good turn out. We went to the Plantation Steakhouse at Winfield to eat and then were supposed to go to the "I RODE THE LOOP" but due to the rain we didn't get to go. We will however be taking up a collection on Saturday July 3rd at the C.A.R.S. cruise In, in Jasper. This was an important event with proceeds going to Mr. Charles Gilpin, who recently was involved in a severe motorcycle accident. He is currently recovering at the Golden Living Center in Winfield Alabama. Please try and support this cause. For more info contact Shelly Sealy at 205-275-7967.
