Announcing the first ever event of the Lake Erie Region's "Tour of Birds"! Join us all on Sunday, July 20th. From Swans to the White Turkey, all birds (TCs that is...) are welcome to join in a day of scenic, interesting, and enjoyable times cruising some local sites near the shores of Lake Erie. Total tour length is only 42 miles from start to finish! For anyone desiring to camp-over, there is loads of room at my place not far from the tour route.
1. The meet-up: Just 4 miles from Ohio and 1 mile from Lake Erie - Spend some time at a farm in extreme Northwestern PA, touring a few very interesting collections - A record setting toy tractor collection by the 2nd inductee to the toy tractor collector's "Hall of Fame" (yes... for real!!); A milk bottle collection that is sure to amaze; Several antique full-sized tractors; Some swans raised for breeding; and a picnic lunch!
NOTE: I will need an RSVP list to plan for lunch (I will supply a grill and burgers/dogs/sausages - cruisers can volunteer to bring sides, drinks and desserts). RSVPs will get directions e-mailed to the Meet-up point.
2. All cars will then take a drive across the "Longest Covered bridge in the U.S." (Can you say awesome photo opportunity?!?!) while heading for a local cruise-in on the shores of Lake Erie in NE Ohio's Ashtabula's Lakeshore park! I assure you, showing up with a dozen Turbocoupes will turn a whole lotta heads and will be the talk of the show!!

3. Finishing up the evening, a short drive back over to Conneaut, OH, to visit the White Turkey Drive in - a Rootbeer/icecream/food stand that has been around since 1952! White Turkey Drive-in
(Point to note - In August, Conneaut is also the host to the largest D-day re-enactment in the US - over 1100 actors!)

So please, indicate if you are coming to this fine event! It will surely give you a great conversation topic for some time!
