Rendezvous Time in San Bernardino

September 16, 2010


If I am not mistaken, it was 21 years ago that Stater Bros. began the Route 66 Rendezvous in downtown San Bernardino. It has grown to become a major event in the entire Inland Empire with car and truck buffs coming from all over the U.S. to enjoy a weekend of outdoor fun and fabulous cars.


Route 66 was the main route from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean with San Bernardino being a major stopping point. Route 66 became America's most famous road during the years that followed World War II. As the Interstate Highway system was built, it's major role in cross country traveling was diminished, but it still was used by folks visiting the deserts of the

Southwest.


From 8 to 10 p.m. this evening, attendees can enjoy the neon light contest and can view the many, many cars that owners have brought to the event. To view the full schedule, visit http://www.route-66.org/
