Other Club Events

 

The Two Nations, 2nd Annual 1000 Islands Classic Car Extravaganza

Friday, May 18 ... gates open at 2 pm

Saturday, May 19 ... gates open at 9 am

Sunday, May 20 ... gates open at 10 am

Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Music, Crafts

The second annual Two Nations 1000 Island Extravaganza will benefit the Northern New York Autism Clinic in Black River.

If you plan on attending and would like to register your car, you can do so on-line or forms are available that can be mailed in.  Likewise, if you are a vendor or crafter, those forms are also available.  Simply visit our Extravaganza 2012 page.

This event is a lot more than just cars, trucks and motorcycles.  There will be demonstrations, displays, food, crafters, vendors, kids' games, a parade and live music on three stages.

Crafters and vendors ... note that there are some changes this year.  Last year was our first event and we listened to suggestions and "complaints".  The only vendors inside will be car-related and larger businesses.  The music inside will only be acoustic and lightly amplified acts to cut down on the noise and distractions.  We are setting up a "crafter village" outside this year so that all of the crafters will be together.  On Sunday, we are holding the awards ceremony at 1 pm before the parade and we are not setting up for the parade until after 2 pm.  This will keep more foot-traffic at the grounds for a longer period of time. 

Lodging ... for those coming into the area for this event, there are a number of opportunities for lodging.  Please check our Extravaganza 2012 page for information on the available facilities. Note that this option was just added on March 31, 2012.
