Hungry for A Motor Tour? The Route 66 Association of Missouri has a place for you at the dinner table for its 19th Annual Motor Tour, to be held September 5, 6, and 7, 2008. Here is the info, "hot off the stove". See you in September! Kip Welborn, cochair, motor tour committee.

 

CRUISERS, COME TO DINNER ON THE ROUTE 66 ASSOCIATION OF MISSOURI’S 19th ANNUAL MOTOR TOUR!

 

The Route 66 Association of Missouri is ringing the dinner bell for cruisers to join in the Association’s 19th Annual Motor Tour to be held September 5, 6 and 7, 2008. The Tour will commence in Collinsville, IL and end in Lebanon, MO. The Tour’s theme this year focuses on the eateries on Route 66 in Missouri. This is most appropriate this year, as it is the 50th Anniversary of one of the Route’s most famous food stops, Zeno’s Steakhouse and Motel in Rolla, MO.

 

Tour registration commences at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 5 at the Comfort Inn in Collinsville, IL where a block of rooms has been set aside for tour goers. That evening there will be activities for participants and information on which will be available at registration. On Saturday, September 6, the Tour will proceed to Rolla, MO. Tour goers will be provided with a passport book which they will be able to get stamped at several designated eateries between Collinsville, IL and Rolla, MO. The passport will also contain valuable information about the Association and Route 66 in Missouri. There will also be information about other recommended stops provided at registration.

 

The Tour will make its midpoint stop at Zeno’s Steakhouse and Motel in Rolla, where a block of rooms has been set aside for tour goers. That evening a great meal will be served up for tour goers by the folks at Zeno’s and we will celebrate Zeno’s 50th Anniversary on Route 66.

 

On Sunday after the nondenominational worship service, folks will be able to enjoy Route 66 on our way to the tour finale at Wrink’s Market in Lebanon. En route we will be making stops at Arlington, Sheldon’s Market in Devils Elbow, and the historical museum in Waynesville. At Wrink’s, tour goers will be able to enjoy a noontime lunch served by the folks at Wrink’s, and be able to "chew the fat" with their fellow roadies to end the tour.

 

Additional information on any planned stops or activities along the way will be made available at registration.
