Bands, Old Cars, NTN, Name That Tune, and a Festival (Or Two)-- Part 3

SATURDAY...Continued

ROOT BEER, CLASSIC CARS, AND A SWING BAND

After leaving the steak fry, we drove over to the Ingleside Dog 'N Suds for their weekly drive-in party with old cars, deejays, and bands. Never been to one, but always wanted to so this was a perfect time.

Your vehicle had to be 1973 or older to drive into the parking lot, and they were in all the stalls and parked all over, even in the parking lot of the car wash across the street. No Firebirds, but two Camaros. Big crowd on hand, many who had brought their own chairs.

Big lines to order food and, of course, that magnificent root beer. We'd been there for lunch on Thursday when they have a 99 cent Charcoburger, one of the best burgers you can get anywhere. I love my root beer in a glass mug, so always get the 16 ounce. Bigger ones come in paper cups. Normally, I'd order the bigger sizes.

The sixteen-piece Lakes Area Swing Band was playing Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller, and other Big Band standards. Really great music as well.
