Updated May, 2012: With the arrival of May, we are looking forward to the show we here at Mike Kelly's Cruise News host....Beach Blast 18. It takes place on May 18-20, 2012, and will once again be held at the International Palms Resort & Conference Center at 1300 N. Atlantic Ave. (A1A) in Cocoa Beach, just 2 miles south of Ron Jon Surf Shop. We have already reached the 280 vehicle limit, and therefore registration for Beach Blast 18 is closed, so there will be no registration available at the show. We look forward to seeing everyone who made the 280 vehicle cut-off, and having another "Blast" with fellow enthusiasts!
If you'd like to know where all the shows and cruise-ins will be during May simply pick up a copy of our printed magazine and flip through the 25 pages of Coming Attractions - listing upcoming events for the next 6 months. Plus there are 16 pages of Weekly & Monthly Cruises letting you know of places to get your fix during the week.
We hope to see all of you in the upcoming months while we're out and about at the various cars shows and cruise-ins. Until then, keep the wheels spinnin' and the face grinnin'.
-Michael B. Kelly
