| In 1991 the Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show was organized as a Chamber of Commerce event in Woodland Park, Colorado, which is 20 miles northwest of Colorado Springs on Highway 24. At the first show only five cars were entered. When the Chamber of Commerce withdrew from sponsoring the Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show in 1998, the Above the Clouds Cruisers Car Club made a commitment to continue it. Since then, the Car Show has grown to a two-day show with 200 to 250 cars participating and hundreds of spectators attending. Located in the heart of Woodland Park near City Hall, the Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show is an annual event on the third Saturday in September. It is an open show that can accommodate 300 vehicles. The net proceeds from this event are donated to local charities. On Saturday, September 12th, The Above the Clouds Cruisers Car Club will host more than 200 cars, trucks and motorcycles. All staging of participants’ vehicles is on hard surface streets. Trailer parking is also available. Each participant will receive a “goodie- bag”, a T-shirt,a dash plaque and discount coupons from local merchants. All participants are entered into a drawing for door prizes. Registration is $35 per vehicle. Show is free to spectators. DJ Nick Donovan will be on hand to provide entertainment during the show along with food and merchandise vendors. At approximately 3:00 PM, a Poker Run to Cripple Creek will begin, followed by a “street show” on Bennett Avenue, Saturday evening in Cripple Creek. Lodging and many fine restaurants are available in Cripple Creek. On Sunday, September 13th the car show will continue with a show ‘n shine in Cripple Creek from 9:00 AM until the trophy presentations at 1:00 PM. |
