Celebrate Route 66 each and every Summer

The National Route 66 Festival is an annual event celebrating the historic road that runs from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA. The National Festival is held in a different location along Route 66 each year. During the Festival you will find a true piece of small town Americana, steeped in the golden age of Route 66. A variety of events are scheduled to ensure something for everyone. Visitors will be able to talk with famous Route 66 authors and artists who strive to preserve the Road through their work. At the Car and Motorcycle Show, owners will showcase their well preserved and restored vehicles from the past 100 years. Don't miss The Will Rogers Awards Banquet usually on the last Saturday night before ending the celebration on Sunday.

Route 66 - You Just Have To Love It

I love The Mother Road! My family traveled Route 66 in 1955 when we drove from our home in St. Louis to attened the grand opening of Disneyland in California.

America's Favorite Pastime - audiobook

I used my voice for all of the announcer's lines and most of the character voices. The project consist of 4 CD's (approximately 4 hours of total audio.) Although I've never been much of a baseball fan, I learned a lot. This is what… Continue

Hello Joe:
I check the members listing and I'm still listed twice, once as Joe and once as Joseph. We're one in the same. I believe the problem came about when tryinmg to update my password. If you can eliminate the Joseph account and keep the Joe account that would be great. Plaease let me know if that is possible and can you let me know what the password for that account will be. I would like for the password to be joeyboy449 if that is at all possible. Thnaks in advance for your help.
