Last Bakers of Milford Sunday Cruise of 2005

Due to the rain, Chris Baker held the Cruise-In inside the restaurant. There was a good turn out with some cruisers bringing their cars anyway. I estimate that there were about 150 people in attendance.

Chris passed out the weekly trophies, special "of the Year" trophies door prizes and the 50/50 drawing. Kris Kopacki, Doug Lightfoot and Dave Kowalski each received a weekly "Best of Show" trophy.

Newly created plaques for "Cruiser Couples of the Year" were given to couples who have been chosen as Cruiser Couples for each of the past two years. Four plaques were awarded for the 2005 " Cruiser Couples of the Year". My husband and I received one of these plaques. Thank You Chris.

Four Plaques were given for "Father and Son Cruises of the Year". The father-son cruisers, Bud and Kent Pennington and Tim and Eric Leslie each received these awards. You could find Bud and Kent along with Tim and Eric almost every week parked in the corner on the hill.

Three "Cruisers of the Year" trophies we handed out. Bud Pennington won 2nd place for his 1969 Dodge Charger 500.

Congratulation to all Members and everyone else who won trophies this year at Bakers of Milford - "The Midwest Largest Weekly Cruise"

A standing ovations was done for Chris Baker for is continuation of the tradition Paul hade created many years ago.
