Classic Car Show and Cruise In with other activities for all ages. Established in 2002 by Thomas W. Rogers to raise funds for Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department and Honor all of those Volunteers Everywhere.
On September 2nd, just 12 days before our 7th annual Celebration of Fire and Rescue Workers Event was to be held, after even Deer Creek Illinois had advertised it on their web site since 2002, the Village of Deer Creek voted to Block and Deny Access for us to hold the event, stating they didn't want a lot of Hells Angels Types in their community. All because we organized the first annual Deer Creek Motorcycle Jamboree to be included in the Celebration this year.
NOT EVEN CLOSE!
This whole thing is nothing but a pipedream of Tom Rogers,(certified nut).
Rogers has been out of the picture for several years. He recently got off probation and went back to some of the same nutty stuff we all know him for.
He supposedly made all kinds of plans for a motorcycle and car show that would last for 3, 2, or 1 day,(depends where you read about it on the internet).
He advertised a flea market, beer tent, motorcycle jamboree, carshow, vendors, food. All kinds of things without inquiring where this would be held. He spoke with the Deer Creek Village board 2 weeks before the proposed events. He never met with any village merchants, never considered sanitary facilities, cleanup, security, traffic control, etc. He wasn't able to supply liability insurance. He had no volunteers.
What he did do is ruin a yearly event Deer Creek normally has each year in September.
Deer Creek was doing so well without this character. As of lately he has encouraged everyone he invited to this bogus event to drive through Deer Creek on Saturday September 20.
I think it's a great idea! After driving through town they should all go to Tom's home address at 109 Cottonwood. Oaklawn trailer court in Morton, Illinois.
Maybe Tom will puts some brats on the grill and offer a cold beer to everyone he misled or duped into showing up.
