    Hello,
    I'm from Ofallon, IL which is about 15 minutes from Belleville. Just search for St. Louis Hamb members, there are quite a few of us on here. A couple times a year there is an automotive swap meet at the Belle Claire Fairgrounds on the south end of Belleville. There is also a large swap in Waterloo once a year and one at the Grizzley's stadium believe. Usually there's quite a few weekly meets around the area, Dandy Inn is one that comes to mind. Chuck a Burger in St. Charles MO is also a popular spot to meet.
    Welcome to the area!

    Welcome to the midwest. Recently the city of Belleville had a downtown car showthat was well attended. The Fat Boys of Ill. are in the area,as are the Gear Jammers[older guys with a long active history since the 50s. The radius rods in Pocahantas put on a great free event every fall.With St Louis so close there is more to do than you can keep up with. There is a website listing events,but I cant remember the name,someone else surely will share.
     
  8. Nice Cruise-In every third Saturday at Culver's on 157 in Collinsville. Just a few blocks North of 55. Usually draws a pretty good crowd and a wide variety of cars.

    Welcome to the area .
    One of the other big cruises not mentioned is the Fenton cruise, first fri of month . I think march to Oct so it over for season but draws over 500 pre 79 vehicles.
    With central location here it's easy to hit swaps /shows in Indy, Chicago, Nashville, Louisville. Our local track may be closing though .

    Thanks for all for the info. Hope to catch up with you at the events/shows. Look for a grey primered 49 chevy 2dr and an old fart driving.
