By: 62vairragtop Date: July 26, 2011, 11:26 am --------------------------------------------------------- I just wanted to post a "thanx" to those who were at this cruise. Sorry it's taken me so long - I'm just waking-up after a long, hot, & humid week at Canal Fest! This year was the most well-attended cruise in the 6 years that I've been involved with it. The "official" count is 334; the "unofficial" count is 350 -375. I know that there were cars entering after all staging area vehicles were parked & the sites were opened to latecomers. I've received a number of positive comments re: the cruise, & even more positive comments re: the unique dash plaques. All in all, things seemed to go smoothly, with only a few minor glitches. Suggestions for improvements are always welcomed, so feel free to contact me with them. Again, thanx. P.S.) As elitecreationscc noted, the Canal Fest closing fireworks show is nice. If you weren't able to enjoy it that nite, there are usually YouTube videos posted. #Post#: 6856-------------------------------------------------- Re: Canal Fest Super Cruise Wed July 20th!

Will there be a cruise this year? #Post#: 6857-------------------------------------------------- Re: Canal Fest Super Cruise Wed July 20th!

By: 87 Monte LS Date: February 9, 2013, 7:45 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I'm sure the event could be moved to another venue if needed. I'm sure they could be welcomed with open arms to another town, bringing in that many people. One comment though. Are "fireworks" needed? They don't come free, and they don't come cheap. Do they really add value to the event? #Post#: 6860-------------------------------------------------- Re: Canal Fest Super Cruise Wed July 20th!
