Cruisers of Mtn Home Events

09/09/2026

I had somebody ask me "Whats the point of Cruising?!"

My first answer was "Go watch American Graffiti and you will understand.."

But then I thought about it for awhile and I said "in realistic terms, there is no point.. it is a waste of EXPENSIVE gas, you dont end up anywhere except the same place over and over and over again, and you dont get to chat with your other buddies if you're out driving around. BUT, there is a something about cruising around (hopefully we can draw community folks to sit along side the road and watch us cruise around) letting the community see and hear our rides in motion, just like a parade, and getting behind the wheel of the amazing rides we are all lucky to own and cruising along one another. And its not racing.. its not being crazy over the top. Its just enjoying our rides. I know each and every one of you understand what im talking about. And if you dont have what you feel like is a "cool cruising vehicle", heck find someone who does.. its always more fun cruising with friends along for the ride.

Why I picked the route i did? (Thats another question i got)

So, all of us who grew up here in Mtn Home back in the day, we all know the cruise route was from Pizza Hut to the Square, or Pizza Hut to Hardee's.. we did try that once a year or two ago and it didn't really go as planned. Plus, I think we have all driven in this town recently enough to know that the middle of town can get quite ridiculous most of the time nowadays. So I picked College St/bypass/west side of 62 for a few reasons. College St, to me, just has a cool vintage vibe..plus, it was one of Mtn Homes first roads. Plus, there is less traffic for sure. Also plenty of room for the community to sit and watch us cruise on by. I envision kids with their families watching all the cool rides drive on by and just fall in love with the automotive beauty of all of our rides. We can all agree that the passion for the classic and muscle cars is dying..so we need to do what we can to stir that pot back up so youngsters find the love for them!! Anyway, College St is vintage, slower paced, and mellow.. then, we turn right onto the Bypass and thats when things could pick up speed for a bit :) then we turn right onto hwy 62 and head past Bomber Blvd, the Sheriff Station, and get to the Square.. we will drive through the square so the people who are trying to enjoy a peaceful evening at Rapps will be treated to a beautiful group of cruising vehicles :) and then will turn right onto 62 again and get to College St and turn right to start all over again.

I think this event will be fun!! Take a friend with you!! Stop at Dairy Queen for some Ice Cream, sit at Farm and Merchants ATM Bank Parking lot when you get tired of Cruising (but I hope the cruising lasts awhile)

So after a full day to decompress from the 5th annual Ultimate Cruisers Halloween Trunk n Treat and parade, i have tons of shout outs and thank yous to give..

First thing and the biggest thank you needs to go to Brad Goeke and his family and the guys at Ultimate Auto Group that helped make the event happen. The event has gotten so popular with the community that it legitimately would be impossible without them. They do the small things behind the scenes that nobody probably notices with having plenty of candy, buying signage, putting up decorations, doing radio spotlights, having banners made, paying DJ to be there, etc etc etc.. so many things that it's almost hard to remember it all.. we are sooooooo incredibly lucky to have them to help us put on these events for the community and the car community.

I want to thank the Tracy Fire & Rescue Auxiliary for being there to let kiddos play around in the fire trucks you guys brought!

I would like to thank the Bomb Squad for being there with their cool robot and played with the kiddos!! That was super cool!!

All the businesses that were there that participated!! Tree Trimming Specialist LLC Allheart Senior Care North Arkansas - Gassville 24 Hour Fuel Subway NiNi & Poppy’s Side Hustle Marchant Building Center Mountain Home Family Chiropractic Lewis Auto Mountain Home AR Minute Mechanic, Everyday Handyman, Sea Comfort Spas, Cotter Booster Band was there.. just a bunch of people who helped make this event a success.

All the food trucks get a shout out!! Nathan Buck At The Curb Food Truck & Catering Angelo Garcia Nome's 2 Bros. Tacos Alpine Shave Ice Vickie Warner Vickie's Kitchen Warner Kim Cooper Long K&J Kettle Corn

PEACE PRODUCTIONS MOBILE DJ SERVICE for playing my favorite Go Ninja Go!! Great job, man. Thanks for being there!!

Shout out to the MHPD for your help at the parade and at the Trunk n Treat. 🙌

A big shout out to ASU-Mountain Home for allowing us to use the campus for the event again. We love having the event there!! It's really the safest place for us to have it.

Shout out to David S. for helping with some of the city stuff like getting the digital signs lined up for us.

Shout out to the Cruisers who are parents that came to enjoy the event with your kiddos!! That's the most important thing is to share moments like this with your family!!

And finally, a big shout of to all of you Cruisers who participated.. i know that it's a big expense for all of you, and it's time consuming, and it's just over the top sometimes cuz there is so much going on.. but this event means so much to the kiddos of this community that, to me anyway, makes all of that worth it. So those of you who put in any effort or time or money to make it, whether if it was just for the parade, I personally am so very thankful. I know sometimes parades are tough on these older cars (the car i was driving died two times lol) but to see those smiling kids jump up and down with happiness.. nothing is better!! And seeing all of you who decorated vehicles, dressed up in costumes, did things to scare kiddos or whatnot.. it juat makes it all come together! I don't know if i can really express how great it really was!! So thank you all who participated.

And one more..thanks to Farris Brotherton for bringing the Jeepers Creepers truck over!! That thing was a HIT!!!!! To hear the parents and kids freak out over that thing was amazing!!

For real.. all of you made this event a hit and can only wait for bigger and better next year.. especially with the parade. We need to pull some bigger numbers to keep the parade a thing.

Once we get the number from the Chamber of Commerce, I will let you all know how many people were at the trunk n treat.. it was a LOT for sure!!

Today is the day!!!! 5th annual Ultimate Cruisers Halloween Trunk n Treat AND PARADE is here!!!

Quick reminders for everyone :

Parade reminders - Parade starts at 5:30 from Beard St and Hospital Dr. It will travel normal Mtn Home city parade route.. Hospital Dr to hwy 5 to hwy 62 and will end at the end of the square at Guy Berry. PLEASE TRY AND KEEP YOUR KIDS AS CLOSE THE SIDEWALKS AS POSSIBLE!!!!! SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER 1 CONCERN. THIS IS A COOL CLASSIC AND MODERN CAR PARADE SO BE MINDFUL OF THESE INCREDIBLE MACHINES!! A LOT OF THEM HAVE A LOT OF POWER.

Trunk n Treat reminders - Trunk n Treat starts at 6:30 at ASUMH. DJ Peace will be there with all the spooky tunes. We have several food trucks, kettle corn, cotton candy, and all the candy your mind can think of!! ASUMH also will be having a costume contest!! Public parking will be in all of the normal parking lots because the trunk n treat will be held in the roads inside the college campus. Handicap parking will be in the Gottas parking lot but be mindful that this is a walking event. Should make things easier for parking. Please do NOT park on the grass anywhere on campus! There is a start and an end to the trunk n treat.. the start will be near the Gottas building so those parking lots on the Hwy 62 side of the campus would be the best place to park. There will be a member of MHPD on site incase of any emergency.

Please don't leave a bunch of trash around the campus or on the road during the parade. Asumh will have trash cans around the campus. Also there will be porta potties around the campus as well.

Let's have a great time and keep it safe :) 🎃 🍬 🍫 🍭

Atten Vendors/businesses for 5th annual Ultimate Cruisers Halloween Trunk n Treat AND PARADE

If you are vendor/business and plan on being in the parade and the trunk n treat, you will be first in line in the parade that way you can be the first ones ASUMH so you will have time to get set up before the shindig starts.

If you are just going to trunk n treat, you can go there as early as you'd like on Saturday to get set up. Please don't have display/table/canopies in road (keep a driving lane open). There may be quite a few of you vendors/businesses so be mindful on the space you use please.
