Whether you drive a classic car or just like to look at them, you'll love the Cruise-In Series, now in its third year, starting in Downtown Fuquay-Varina on Friday, April 16.

This free event will take place from 5-9 pm the third Friday of each month from April through June in historic downtown Fuquay-Varina. Cars will be located in the large public parking lot located at the corner of Main and Vance Streets across from Cooley's Restaurant and in the private lot behind the restaurant.

Music will be provided by the Mayor of Mamers. For those interested, a guided tour of the Fuquay-Varina History Museum starts at the information booth at 5:30 & 7:00pm. A free toy is available for all children under the age of 12. At 7:00pm 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, Chairperson of the Fuquay-Varina Revitalization Association. There will be so much activity going on the night of the April Cruise-In. From classic cars to 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 8:30pm. Anyone can purchase a ticket for $5 at the information booth located in the large parking lot across from Cooley's.
