Summer Fun Cruisers, WHAT IS IT ? We want to welcome you to the Summer Fun Cruise for 2021. Can you guess what this car is? We are looking forward to another great weekly event. We Yes, it is American made! have some new things we want do this year….. Including the (Answer on back page) monthly publication of the Summer Fun Cruise News. Please welcome Dave Potter this year to a spot in the DJ Tent as he adds extra color and trivia to our music selections. Dave will also be updating our newsletter for the following month. Please let him know if you have any information that needs to be posted. Also new to our cruise, there will be a “Car Of The Week” award that will highlight the winner with a gift and a special parking spot. Even though we have some new additions to our cruise this year we will still have our usual 50/50 raffle, driver regis- tration prize, and door prize give-aways. Take a moment and thank Jay and his staff for the use of PerCo and facilities each Tuesday afternoon. It’s going to be another fun summer event. Let others know what we do here and invite them to come and enjoy it as well. It would be good for the community if the Flea Market and the Vegetable Stand would continue so let’s do what we can to support them. Unfortunately we will still be dealing with Covid restrictions. The Health Dept. mandates are still as they were last year, so let’s do the best we can to conform to the rules and hope it all eases up as the summer progresses. We are excited to be part of this 2021 Summer Fun Cruise and look forward to another (with your help) “Rockin & Rollin” good time! “Come on let’s cruise….You got nothin to lose” Steve-O & Belinda
