So after a full day to decompress from the 5th annual Ultimate Cruisers Halloween Trunk n Treat and parade, i have tons of shout outs and thank yous to give..
First thing and the biggest thank you needs to go to Brad Goeke and his family and the guys at Ultimate Auto Group that helped make the event happen. The event has gotten so popular with the community that it legitimately would be impossible without them. They do the small things behind the scenes that nobody probably notices with having plenty of candy, buying signage, putting up decorations, doing radio spotlights, having banners made, paying DJ to be there, etc etc etc.. so many things that it's almost hard to remember it all.. we are sooooooo incredibly lucky to have them to help us put on these events for the community and the car community.
I want to thank the Tracy Fire & Rescue Auxiliary for being there to let kiddos play around in the fire trucks you guys brought!
I would like to thank the Bomb Squad for being there with their cool robot and played with the kiddos!! That was super cool!!
All the businesses that were there that participated!! Tree Trimming Specialist LLC Allheart Senior Care North Arkansas - Gassville 24 Hour Fuel Subway NiNi & Poppy’s Side Hustle Marchant Building Center Mountain Home Family Chiropractic Lewis Auto Mountain Home AR Minute Mechanic, Everyday Handyman, Sea Comfort Spas, Cotter Booster Band was there.. just a bunch of people who helped make this event a success.
All the food trucks get a shout out!! Nathan Buck At The Curb Food Truck & Catering Angelo Garcia Nome's 2 Bros. Tacos Alpine Shave Ice Vickie Warner Vickie's Kitchen Warner Kim Cooper Long K&J Kettle Corn
PEACE PRODUCTIONS MOBILE DJ SERVICE for playing my favorite Go Ninja Go!! Great job, man. Thanks for being there!!
Shout out to the MHPD for your help at the parade and at the Trunk n Treat. 🙌
A big shout out to ASU-Mountain Home for allowing us to use the campus for the event again. We love having the event there!! It's really the safest place for us to have it.
Shout out to David S. for helping with some of the city stuff like getting the digital signs lined up for us.
Shout out to the Cruisers who are parents that came to enjoy the event with your kiddos!! That's the most important thing is to share moments like this with your family!!
And finally, a big shout of to all of you Cruisers who participated.. i know that it's a big expense for all of you, and it's time consuming, and it's just over the top sometimes cuz there is so much going on.. but this event means so much to the kiddos of this community that, to me anyway, makes all of that worth it. So those of you who put in any effort or time or money to make it, whether if it was just for the parade, I personally am so very thankful. I know sometimes parades are tough on these older cars (the car i was driving died two times lol) but to see those smiling kids jump up and down with happiness.. nothing is better!! And seeing all of you who decorated vehicles, dressed up in costumes, did things to scare kiddos or whatnot.. it juat makes it all come together! I don't know if i can really express how great it really was!! So thank you all who participated.
And one more..thanks to Farris Brotherton for bringing the Jeepers Creepers truck over!! That thing was a HIT!!!!! To hear the parents and kids freak out over that thing was amazing!!
For real.. all of you made this event a hit and can only wait for bigger and better next year.. especially with the parade. We need to pull some bigger numbers to keep the parade a thing.
Once we get the number from the Chamber of Commerce, I will let you all know how many people were at the trunk n treat.. it was a LOT for sure!!
