Over 200 cars and over 100 motorcycles took part in the Sept. 29 car and motorcycle show, held at Tioga Downs Casino Resort in Nichols, N.Y. (Photo by Wendy Post)<\/p><\/div>\n

On Saturday, Sept. 29, Tioga Downs Casino Resort in Nichols, N.Y., Southern Tier Harley Davidson out of Binghamton, N.Y., and the American Cruisers Car Club presented the annual car and motorcycle show, which typically takes place at the end of September each year.<\/p>\n

The weather was a bit cooler for the show, but didn\u2019t slow down the attendance. According to Erica Miller, tourism sales manager at Tioga Downs Casino Resort, there were close to 200 cars and over 100 motorcycles that arrived for the show, held this year on the blacktop and in front of the resort\u2019s hotel.<\/p>\n

The new location on the property, according to Miller, better accommodated the cars and bikes as the field remained soggy from excessive rainfall this year. But the change, according to those that attended, worked for the better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually like it better here,\u201d said Greg Zyla, who represented Lucas Oil and Auto Round-Up Magazine at this year\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Dave Mareck, who was assisting Zyla, stated that the show actually looked much larger in the new location, and that its central location to the casino and its amenities was an added plus.<\/p>\n

And the show, which ran from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offered live music by Project Z, areas to sit and relax and eat or just listen to the music, various vendors selling miniature car collections, apparel, food, and of course, the display of cool rides.<\/p>\n

Zyla and Mareck offered guests a free copy of the latest Auto Round-Up Magazine and held a raffle for various Lucas Oil products and t-shirts at their show tent.<\/p>\n

The American Cruisers Car Club, who serves as a sponsor and whose members work the show, had some of their own rides roll in. And according to one member of the club, which formed in 2012, this is the ninth year that they have sponsored the \u201cCruisin\u2019 at the Downs\u201d event.<\/p>\n

For more information on the club, contact Cruise Coordinator Gabe Oakley by email to GabeTheGear@aol.com<\/a>, or visit http:\/\/american2012cruisers.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also joining in the event was Southern Tier Harley Davidson (STHD), located in Binghamton. Each year the \u201cChristmas for Kids\u201d Hog Ride, which benefits area children at Christmas time, holds their benefit ride in conjunction with the car and motorcycle show.<\/p>\n

Named in honor of John \u201cWah\u201d Oleski \u2013 the former assistant director of the Binghamton HOG Chapter, the proceeds from the ride, which departs from STHD\u2019s Front Street location in Binghamton, N.Y., benefit the annual gift giving effort. <\/p>\n

For this event, Tioga Downs matched their donations by 100 percent.<\/p>\n

According to Carrie Graham, marketing coordinator at Southern Tier Harley Davidson, they had 74 registered motorcycles, and 94 total with passengers for this police escorted ride to Tioga Downs. <\/p>\n

And because of the match by Tioga Downs, the effort raised $5,010 to buy gifts for local children this holiday season. They also raised $154 with a donated table that was raffled off on the day of the event.<\/p>\n

In December, according to Graham, HOG members will go and buy the gifts based on age categories and then deliver them for distribution during the area\u2019s Toys for Tots effort. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so much fun to go and buy the gifts,\u201d said Graham, adding, \u201cMy daughter is eleven now and she still goes with me to buy the gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Christmas for Kids ride has taken place for over 25 years, and has raised over $100,000 to benefit children in the area. To learn more about the ride, or other fundraising efforts at STHD, you can contact them by calling
