Event Director for the Ferndale Woodward Dream Cruise suggested, if we aren't able to obtain parking along Woodward, that...

"On Saturday, August 18, the Ferndale Woodward Dream Cruise will have its annual Ferndale Classics & Cruis’n Legends Vehicle Show located on Vester Road at Woodward Avenue. It is only $25 per participant and includes awards and a goody bag. It is a “show and shine” event to show off classic vehicles to the public. Parking begins at 7am with the event over by 5pm. All participants are welcome to cruise Woodward during that time as well."

Only problem with that is it sounds like it's for "classic cars" only, as he states, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. I think we're looking for a place to meet up at and hang out when we're not cruising, not necessarily a specific show.

I asked who exactly I need to call to reserve spots so hopefully he can do that or he can direct me to somebody else.

 

Thanks for all your hard work Matt. I would def. want to come to the cruise

 

Yep, no problem Tadd. So, I haven't really had any luck yet. I would say our best bet is to just meet up somewhere in Birmingham or to the North where it's typically not as congested and go from there.

 

sounds good matt i am planning on going

 

Just let me know where we are meeting.

Thanks Space, Yeah I was at last years for the whole day and had a great time. Woodward is definitely one that should be experienced at least once. People come from all over the country and world to attend. You will see vehicles at this cruise that you never see. I know we've got a bit of interest on here so let me know if you are planning on joining us at the Cruise this year!

Tim, Tadd and anybody else interested, I will keep you updated on a time and place to meet. Two weeks from tomorrow, Saturday, August 18th. It's getting close!

 

Way kool ....!!!!

 

PRIMARY MEETING SPOT: If meeting up with us, go here first. We will meet at the southwest corner of Woodward Avenue and Thirteen Mile Road in Royal Oak at 8:30am, Saturday, August 18th. There's a shopping complex with a Kroger and a good size parking lot so we'll meet there. If anyone has an issue with the time let me know but I figured the earlier we meet the better. Shouldn't have an issue since we'll be meeting early in the morning when traffic is lower. We'll try to park as close to the lot perimeter as possible.

Kroger's parking lot can be accessed from both Woodward and Thirteen Mile.

Kroger
30991 Woodward Ave.
Royal Oak, MI 48073

ALTERNATE MEETING SPOT: If, for whatever reason, we cannot get into the Kroger lot that morning, head North six miles and we will meet on the Northwest corner of Woodward Avenue and Square Lake Road. There is a small shopping complex here with a Staples and a good size parking lot.

Staples
43313 Woodward Ave.
Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302

LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE MEETING UP SO I KNOW WHO TO EXPECT!

 

Anyone? This meeting up at Woodward looks like it's going to be a bust. There's only a few days left and I haven't got any feedback for anyone that is coming for sure. I am still going no matter what and will be at the meeting spot first thing in the morning in case anyone shows up. Would be nice to see a few of you there. I plan on being there and cruising all day.
