  • Recap of 2019 Homecoming
    SEE FORD BLUE IN KALAMAZOO With Lincolns, Mercurys and Edsels Too! By Mike Denney The Road Race Lincoln Register hosted 2019’s Lincoln Homecoming, August 7th through the 12th, 2019. The decision was made early on in the planning that we wanted to change it up this year by inviting all Ford products to the show. We welcomed 125 members and their families from all four Lincoln clubs plus Ford, Edsel and Mercury for this first time event featuring all Ford-built automobiles. All in all, the event was a success, however we were a little disappointed in the turn out of non Lincoln cars. The non- Lincolns that did show were high quality and pretty diverse. While many of us arrived on Monday to help set up registration and get organized for the weeks activities, Wednesday was when our first event took place. Some of our group drove out to the Gilmore Museum for their weekly cruise night. There was a large turnout of local cars of all types and ages, the evening was perfect! Those that choose to stay at the hotel got to enjoy a welcoming party with free appetizers and a cash bar. 1 Some of our Lincolns in front of the Kellogg Mansion Thursday there were two tours planned, one was to the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary and Kellogg Manor, where attendees were treated to a fantastic lunch at the mansion. The other tour was to Vicksburg Historical Village, where people could tour the village at their own pace. After the tours we were back at the Four Points Hotel for an Italian buffet.
