Summer is here and we would like to remind all of you to keep hydrated and in the shade.
April 3rd thru September 25th Every Friday Night
Come and join all you PT friends for another season of Cruisin' Grand. We have the same corner of Grand Ave. & Juniper St. and the times will be the same as last year 5 - 9pm. I believe that the "Don's" will be arriving early to rope off our area. As in the past we will continue to have our very own "popcorn" lady on the corner and a live band to serenade our evenings. We have heard that some of the local restaurants have had to close their doors, so I am not sure what to expect when we get there. So you may want to think about a "picnic in the parking lot" for this first week. Don't forget your chairs AND most importantly your JACKETS, blankets, gloves, whatever it takes to stay warm. The first few weeks of the season will be a bit on the chilly side.

Cruise The Rockies IX - Cañon City Colorado August 6th - 9th, 2009
This years Cruise the Rockies will be based in a small town in South Central Colorado called Cañon City. Much of Cañon City's downtown was built between 1899 and 1910. It was during that time that the gold and silver barons infused the city with their newfound wealth from the nearby mining "camps" of Leadville and Cripple Creek. While these towns were still booming, many of Colorado's high country mining towns had peaked and were suffering the disastrous effects of the Silver Panic of 1893, after which US currency was no longer based on silver. In its place, gold became king. Gilded by its discovery, especially in nearby Cripple Creek, Cañon City quickly prospered. Men were becoming rich and sought a place to display their new wealth. Brothels and gaming halls aside, the mining camps, plagued by fire and cold weather, were not the most habitable places to live or raise a family. The riches flowed downhill, and Cañon City was an ideal repository. Served by three railroads- Denver & Rio Grande (connecting to Leadville via the Royal Gorge), the Santa Fe, and The Florence and Cripple Creek, Cañon was a natural transition point and a gateway to interstate commerce. Geographically, it was a pleasant place to build and to live. The Arkansas River valley provided plenty of food and natural resources. The lower elevation and location away from the windswept great plains meant a temperate climate-a fact the Indians had long appreciated. And, unlike its industrial neighbors, Denver and Pueblo, Cañon sported clear skies. The gold barons became land barons as well, and dumped their wealth into real estate. A prime lot could be had for less than $1,000! Impressive brick buildings soon lined a bustling
Main Street . Ornate homes proliferated. Business and service providers followed, and they, too, quickly prospered. Cañon City still prospers today, although the gold mines are mostly gone, and the railroad, now the Royal Gorge Route , carries visitors instead of miners and mining supplies. In August 2009, it will be the home of Cruise The Rockies IX and will be invaded by a large group of PT Cruiser fans.POC: http://www.coloradoptcruiserclub.org/html/ctr_ix.html
