CHICAGO’S LARGEST OUTDOOR CAR SHOW & CRUISE SET FOR JUNE 2, 2007
Third Annual Chi-Town Kruze To Raise Funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities®
of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana
Chicago, IL - It’s not too early to mark the summer calendar for The Third Annual Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze taking place Saturday, June 2, 2007 in Chicago, Illinois. Promising another remarkable event for the city of Chicago, the Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze and Car Show is a perfect way to kick off summertime activities in the city of big shoulders.
The Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze is Chicago’s largest outdoor classic car cruise and exhibition. First, the cruise portion is a rare opportunity for cars of all makes, models and vintage to tour around picturesque Grant and Millennium Parks. NEW ROUTE THIS YEAR! Cars will follow Columbus Drive south to Roosevelt Road, over to Michigan Avenue to Randolph Street, and then back to Columbus Drive. The cruise route starts on Columbus near Buckingham Fountain. Cars are encouraged to make multiple loops before heading to the Soldier Field South Lot for the NAPA Car Show later in the morning. Thousands of spectators are expected to line the cruise route that includes many of Chicago’s most cherished attractions including the Art Institute, Millennium Park and beautiful Grant Park.
Immediately following the cruise, pre-1987 registered cars will drive to Soldier Field along Chicago’s beautiful lakefront to display their vehicles, socialize with friends and enjoy a variety of activities including family entertainment, sponsor exhibits, fabulous food and collectable merchandise.
New Addition! Calling all Corvettes! The 2007 Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze will feature the Corvette at this year’s car show. All Corvettes are welcome (including newer models) and will be displayed in a special section of the NAPA Car Show at Soldier Field. There will also be a designated section for Special Interest and Tuner cars.
The Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze is again committed to Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana as its charity sponsor. One half of car show registration fees and 100% of the $5 admission fee for spectators will be donated to the charity. Last year, $25,000 was raised and donated to the organization benefiting families of sick children.
