Update For April, 2024: I wanted to bring up an event that is changing locations starting this month, as our long time advertiser Sumter Swap Meets is changing locations starting with their event on April 7th. This will be the first month that they will be at their new location at Florida Classic Park, located at 5360 Lockhart Rd., Brooksville, Florida 34602. We just wanted to help try and avoid anyone going to the old location in Bushnell, Florida and being disappointed, not realizing they have indeed moved. I have updated their Coming Attractions listings to indicate the change, and their display ad (on page 17 of this issue) reflects the change of venue. It is held on the first Sunday of every month, except July and August, since it is too hot. We have been to the Sumter Swap Meets on many occasions, have bought lots of various odds and ends along the way, and wish them the best in the move.
It's amazing that we are already making our way into April. The weather has been so nice the last couple months, and we are hoping that April will be just at good. So take advantage of the lower humidity now and get out and enjoy some cruise-ins and car shows, because before you know it that high humidity that Florida is known for during the summer will make its appearance here in the Sunshine State. There are certainly plenty of options all around the state, and you can find some great places to go by just flipping thru our Coming Attractions and Weekly & Monthly Cruises sections.
Speaking of which, those hosting events can make theirs stick out from the crowd by placing a display ad here in Mike Kelly's Cruise News. We offer special car show rates, so it is likely way more reasonably priced than you might otherwise assume. We can help you draw more participants as well as spectators, which will help pay for the cost of the ad itself, plus help grow your event and give it more recognition.
Though we have yet to leave as of this writing, by the time you read this we will have gone to the 34th Annual Spring Daytona Turkey Run inside the Speedway on March 22nd-24th. We always enjoy this event, along with seeing lots of friends from around the state. We hope to see even more during April, as we all have fun playing with our vehicles.
We always look forward to seeing everyone at the various events and cruise-ins. Seeing old friends and meeting new ones are a great part of this hobby. Take care, stay safe....and we'll see you on the streets!
