The folks in Somerset are doing something a little different for the Somernites Cruise-Ins this year. They're now meeting on Friday night each month in the downtown area and they have some vendors, food and music for those who want to attend, and I heard they had over 300 cars for the last time. Then the main cruise-in takes place the next day on Saturday when they open the downtown area at 1:00pm and it goes on the rest of the day with well over a thousand cars. I'm going up for Friday, Saturday and Sunday this year and hope to see some of you guys there. That place is definitely more hot rodder friendly than the money grabbers in Pigeon Forge. I don't know if they're still available, but the Hampton Inn in Somerset had rooms for $86 per night if you call them direct and tell them you're with the cruise-in.
