The fog and the wet roads didn’t stop the Rod Benders Car Club of Bonners Ferry and the Libby Igniters from having their Ice Breakers Cruise  on Saturday.

With Bonners Ferry Police Chief Rick Alonzo leading the way in his BFPD Charger, the parade of more than 18 classic cars cruised to the Chic n’ Chop for a breakfast that the clubs take turns hosting each year.

“It was a great day for a cruise, even though it was foggy and the weather wasn’t perfect, the camaraderie of the gathering was memorable and a lot of fun,” said cruise director  Don James.

The Rod Benders were formed in 1999 and formally chartered in 2000.  The club drives their cars to shows and events throughout Idaho, Montana, Washington and British Columbia. 

Borders 3 Jamboree which will be held Saturday, June 4, is the Rod Benders local annual car show.  It got its name because Rod Benders is in the center of eight car clubs in surrounding communities.

The Friday eve of Borders Jamboree a cruise will be held and details for the cruise will be posted on the web site.

The club holds dinner meetings at 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday at the Chic n’ Chop Restaurant in Bonners Ferry.
