Who has a good Cruise night on Thursdays in the Chicago area?

I have only taken it out to one event this year, and need to do it before she gets sealed up in the zip lock bag.

Crystal Lake really gets a lot of nice cars. Geneva and Carol Stream also have cruise nights on Thursdays, but not a lot of cars. Many of the cruise nights will be winding down after this week.

Some of the best car shows of the season coming yet though. I really like the show that is held during the Apple Festival in Long Grove, first Sunday in October. Lots of stuff to do during the show so it's not as boring as just hanging around like in most shows.

Hello from Bowling Green! Westmont is every Thursday on Cass just N of the tracks. Not a huge turnout compared to Downers or Elmhurst, but worth look.

Whoops! This show was advertised in the Long Grove website as part of the Apple Festival http://www.longgroveonline.com/apple.html

Apparently it's the following weekend:


Dear Steve -

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Car Shows at Historic Long Grove.

The Apple Festival this year is scheduled for the weekend of September 30th, October 1st and 2nd. There will not be a car show on that weekend. However, there will be a Classic Car Show sponsored by TJ Classics on October 9th. For registration and further information their telephone number is 630-483-9901, ask for Tony.
Hope this helps.

Again, thank you for your inquiry.
