Cruz the Glen is held each year at the end of July, in the quaint little village of Watkins Glen, NY This show highlights 2 of the areas attractions, Seneca Lake and the “Watkins Glen International Racetrack”. Our show is held in the “Warren W. Clute” Park at the southern end of Seneca Lake. During the show you can Picnic next to the lake or go swimming next to the pavilion (life guards on duty in nice weather) this area is also in the New York Wine Country. We have many of our show participants who plan their vacations not only to come to the show but take in the local attractions.
The show starts on Friday night with pre-registration starting at 5:00 PM, followed by a 2 hour Hospitality of light snacks provided by our club “Empire State Cruzers”. Neon Lights Show is held at dusk.
On Saturday, gates open at 9:00 AM. Registration goes until 12:00 PM. During the day we have various events going on like: “A Rock and Roll Trivia” contest, door prizes, raffles, 50/50 drawing, tailgate displays and our “PT Remote control car races”. Food for the day starts early in the morning and through out the day by the local Boy Scout Troop #2674 from Watkins Glen; who have everything from Breakfast sandwiches to hot dogs and hamburgers, (with all proceeds going to them)! We wrap up the show around 3:00 PM with the trophy presentation, but the day isn’t over yet!
Saturday night our Banquet this year will be in the pavilion right in the park! After the dinner we hold our annual auction! Money raised by our show goes to benefit the “Children’s Miracle Network”. Following the auction we will be having a 50’s style sock hop so come dressed in your best “Poodle Skirt” or Leather Jackets! .
Sunday it’s “Breakfast in the Park” before we “Cruz to the Track”, where drivers who have paid a nominal fee get to drive their cars on the world famous “Watkins Glen International Race Track”! Typically the drivers follow the pace car around the track about 3 times.
Some people chose to head home while others stay in town for the sites and shops! If you haven’t been to New York’s “Southern Tier”, this alone should be the reason for coming to our show.
