Cruise to CJ's On the Blackwater River

On July 12th the Panhandle Cruisers will be driving over to the other side of Milton to their best kept dinning secret, CJ’s Grill at the River Run Marina on the Blackwater River. There is plenty of space for parking and the menu ranges from tavern fare to a 16oz rib eye, hand breaded shrimp, swamp fries which are house made potato chips, quesadillas and subs among other things. We will gather in the Burger King parking lot as usual and head out to CJ,s at 10AM. Come on out and join us, it will be a blast.

Silver Screen Cruise

It is time once again to journey to the Silver Screen Movie Theater for some chicken fingers or pizza and a movie. This year’s movie will be Viva Las Vegas. Follow along as that Go-Go Guy and that Bye-Bye Gal romp through the fun capital of the world. Elvis is at the wheel but Ann-Margret drives him wild!  
On August 9th we will be leaving the Burger King parking lot at 9:45 so come early so our orders can be called in and waiting when we get there!!!

We will be having chicken fingers or pizza with a drink.
