SATURDAY MORNING CRUISE IN’s: To all classic car fans…… I have been repeatedly asked when are we going to start up the Franklin area Cars & Coffee for 2010? My suggestion is to come out for coffee twice a month, the 2 nd Saturday & 4 th Saturday of each month starting in March. That way if you can’t make it one Saturday you don’t have to wait an entire month before there is another one. To that end I have formulated the following calendar for 2010. I thought it would be advisable to get the schedule out so people could mark their calendars and make plans to attend.
