The “COVID 2020 Edition” of the Cruzin’ Flat Rock and Truck Show is ON and will take place on Saturday September 12, 2020.

Because of the COVID outbreak there are some changes for this year’s show.  Registration fee is FREE because there will only be ONE trophy.  The show runs from 10 AM to 2 PM with registration starting at 9 AM.  The entrance to the show will still be at Huron River and Arsenal.  There will not be a festival this year so we are bringing in a couple of festival style food trucks where you can purchase lunch or you can go to a few of the local restaurants within walking distance of the show.

We ask that everyone practice social; distancing for the safety of participants and for our friends and families visiting along with the spectators.

New this year, because there isn’t a festival tied to the show, there will be a live performance at 11 AM along with a local DJ, “Stay Cold Entertainment” during the Cruzin’ Flat Rock Show.  As in last year’s shown there will also be Door prizes, when filling out the entry form along with a 50/50 drawing.  The money will go for the dog shelter to help purchase food and cat litter.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
