My First Rain Out

So this is my first season running the Cruise Nights and I am loving it! I enjoy the people, the cars and the food! I couldn't have found a more perfect spot at A&W.

Monday night was a very sad night for me.

Normally I HATE giving out the prizes and trophy because it usually means the night is over and everyone leaves - I want people to stay MUCH later than they do. I always end up doing this much earlier than I would like.

So monday night was my first rain out. Usually I arrive early to make sure I am organized, that I know what night it is and to set up. Within 5 minutes of my arrival it started to down pour rain. I was sad - no one was there. I waited and waited . . . and waited 6:50 - the rain had slowed down 7:00 the rain stopped and the sun was out but there were still SCARY clouds - still no cruisers. I set things and up and waited some more. I felt like I was being stood up - it was a very sad moment for me. 7:30 still no cars - with much hesitation at 7:35 I decide to pack things up and go home.

Just as I had finished packing up 2 cars pull in and then a third. Much to my dissappointment the night was over - there weren't enough cars to give away any prizes so I stamped their passports and said goodnight.

This is my uneventful, very sad rain out.
