FOURTH ANNUAL "WOODIES IN THE VALLEY"
WOODIES IN THE VALLEY 2010
RETURNS TO VISALIA FOR MARCH 5-7 EVENT
The Central Valley Woodie Club has scheduled the 2010 edition of "Woodies in the Valley" to be held on March 5-7 in Visalia, CA (midway between Fresno and Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley). This is a repeat of last year’s venue. According to Club President Wayne Yada, "In 2009 we decided to move the event to Visalia from Reedley for a bit of a change, thinking that we’d return to Reedley in 2010. However, since the event was such a success, and we’ve had so many woodie folk give us kudos for it, we’ve opted to bring it back to Visalia. Visalia, which is a much larger city than Reedley, has lots more amenities available to guests, including lodging, restaurants, theaters, shopping, etc."
The Friday welcoming event will be an all-woodies "cruise night" at the local A&W Drive-In Restaurant, located at 301 N. Willis. Although other hot-rodders and car guys/gals will be welcome, only woodies will be allowed in the restaurant's parking lot. Saturday will be the event's "show and shine," which will be held on the front lawn of Redwood High School, 1001 W. Main St., from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. As in past events, there is no entry fee and there will be lots of 60's music, raffle prizes, and great fun. This event will also be open to the public at no charge.
As a special treat this year, Club Vice President Ernie Crotty and his wife Liss, will host a Sunday morning breakfast at their beautiful 1890's era home. Details of the breakfast will be forthcoming soon. The host hotel this year will again be the Visalia Marriott, located at 300 S. Court St., where the Club has secured rooms at the great rate of $79 per night! They have plenty of free parking and have promised us stepped-up overnight security for our wooden cars as well.

At 2 p.m., those interested will take off on a cruise through the blossoms and ag country of Tulare County. Chevy enthusiast and CV Woodie Club member Tom Meleo has once again offered to open up his collection nestled amongst the citrus orchards of Strathmore for our enjoyment, so our cruise will be heading to his place. You can be certain this will be a fun and picturesque cruise – even without the beach as a backdrop! Be sure to bring your cameras! Our local A&W franchise owner, Craig Van Horn has offered again to bring his "Root Beer-mobile" to our events, where he will serve root beer floats. The cruise will will end back in Visalia in plenty of time to do whatever you like - whether it's to head home or hang around and have dinner with fellow woodie friends at a plethora of great local restaurants and enjoy the rest of the evening in Visalia.
