Whether you drive a classic car or just like to look at them, you’ll love the Cruise-In Series. The April 16th Cruise-In produced record crowds and our family attendance was at an all time high. The series continues on May 21st and June 18th in historic downtown Fuquay-Varina. Cars will be located in the large public parking lot at the corner of Main and Vance Streets across from Cooley’s Restaurant and in the private lot behind the restaurant. If you need directions, go to MapQuest and enter “305 S. Main Street, Fuquay-Varina, NC”.

Music will be provided by the Mayor of Mamers. The Bass Lake Shag Society will give shag demonstrations and some of our local teens will give line dancing lessons. Plan to dine at one of our downtown restaurants and stroll into the local shops. For those interested, a guided tour of the Fuquay-Varina History Museum starts at the Information Booth at 5:30 pm. A free toy is available for all children under the age of 12. At 7 pm there will be a hula-hoop contest for children and one for adults and trophies will be awarded.

The Cruise-In offers families a great opportunity to get out for a night of inexpensive, family-filled fun close to home. “We are so pleased to bring this kind of entertainment to downtown, said Kathy Barnes, Chairman of Fuquay-Varina Downtown. There will be so much activity going on the night of the May Cruise-In. From Classic cars to shag lessons and tours of the history museum to fun contests. There really will be something for everyone.”

Pre-1975 cars are welcome and there is no fee to display a car. While at the event, cruisers can register for a variety of door prizes supplied by the stores in downtown Fuquay-Varina. There will be a 50/50 drawing at 8:30 pm. Anyone can purchase a ticket for $1.00 at the Information Booth located in the Large Parking Lot across from Cooley’s. Proceeds will benefit the Fuquay Cruisers and Downtown Revitalization. A flyer with information about the Cruise-In event can be downloaded at www.Fuquay-VarinaDowntown.com.
