UPDATE!
From the December 20, 2017 Newberry News:
New Drivers at the Wheel of Annual Car Show
Car enthusiasts of the Tahquamenon Valley have nothing to fear, as the annual car show in downtown Newberry will continue as usual.
Dave and Vickie Fall, along with the members of the Tahquamenon Valley Cruisers, had spearheaded this event for the past 24 years. After having had enough of the work involved they called it quits.
Luckily, Bruce Klusmeyer and A.J. Downey have taken the wheel for the event with the help of the village of Newberry, Newberry Area Chamber of Commerce and Newberry Lions Club. They have tentatively scheduled the 25th annual Newberry Car Show for July 21 and 22, 2018.
“We’d like to form a small committee—maybe one or two people to represent each
sponsor—that can voice concerns from each group and discuss the progress being made” explained Downey. “This group can meet as needed (for example, January 15, March 15, May 15, June 15, July 15, etc.)”
Both Newberry village manager Jenifer James Mesloh and Newberry Chamber of Commerce Director Roberta Huffman have volunteered to be on that committee.
The format for the car show will stay much the same, including a drive to Muskallonge State Park Friday evening, and the Kids’ Tractor Pull, engine blow-up and voting for the crowd’s favorite vehicle on Saturday. There is also the possibility that new events will be added, such as a Poker Run and Drag Runs at Luce County Airport.

After 24 years, the Tahquamenon Valley Cruisers announced their last car show. Here's a statement we received from the Newberry based car club:
Tahquamenon Valley Crusiers made the announcement Saturday July 15th that there would not be another show in Newberry. Spokeperson Merv Dake announced at the beginning of the trophy ceramony that the Crusiers would not be putting on another show after a 24-year run. "It is hoped that another organization will take over the show but at this time none have come forward." said Vicki Fall of the Cruisers. The show over the years has hosted participants from as far as Flint and Lansing, to Nauginawee to Hessel, and also from Canada.
We have raised money over the years to help support local youth charities such as Project back pack, the schools in Newberry, Engadine and Curtis, as well as assist with donations to the Tackle Party, and other local youth groups. We have provided an opportunity with this show for organizations to be able to raise money for their group. We hope that some organization will come forward and continue, says Dave Fall, founding member and the President of the Crusiers.
Dave and Vicki Fall and good friends Mike And Wanda Maxson started doing car shows in Newberry with the Tahquamenon Logging Museum a few years prior to starting up the Cruisers. "We were getting bigger and needed the extra help, so we started the Cruisers and had 20 members and the rest is history as they say." Vicki Fall told us.
The Crusiers thank the very many supporters of the show for the many years of donations to assist with the show and giving those that come a good day.
If you are an organization who would like to take over where the Cruisers left off please give Dave and Vicki a phone call at 906-293-3816.
