The Main Street of Lavaca was packed this past Saturday night! It was the 2nd Annual Lavaca Cruise Night sponsored by the Lavaca Area Chamber of Commerce. Cars, trucks, motorcycles and even an 18-wheeler cab got into the spirit and made the trek through town, cruising from 6:00pm until after 9:00pm. Classic cars and trucks gathered ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ like an Independence Day fireworks display.
Vendors lined the strip selling kettle corn, pizza, funnel cakes, nachos and more. There was a build-a –bear type booth, games, bounce-arounds and even a dunking booth! The dunking booth was a great success because of the volunteers who agreed to take a dip in the tank. Policemen, teachers, first responders took turns on the tank, much to the pleasure of local citizens! The ones who gathered the most attention was our chief of police Randy Toon and our own mayor Hugh Hardgrave! I love a good sport and these people went above and beyond!
The parking lots were filled with cars and the streets lined with people from near and far. Local businesses were busy non-stop from people buying food and drinks and such. It was a success for the chamber, the local businesses, our community and for the people of our small town!
