This year’s cruise will take place Thursday, June 17; Friday, June 18; and Saturday, June 19. The three-day schedule is reduced from its usual six-day length. “It’s three days instead of six, with a car show on Thursday at First State Bank, and two other car shows on Friday and Saturday at the high school,” said co-organizer and former Eastpointe Mayor Suzanne Pixley. “The first one on Friday is from 2-8 p.m., and the second one on Saturday is from 9 a.m.-8 p.m., both at the high school. We have other events such as Immanuel Methodist Church having music, balloons and other attractions. Andary’s restaurant will be selling T-shirts. The antique 1921 firetruck will be on display along with one of their modern trucks on Ethelyn Court, and the Police Department will be having a demonstration with their K-9 unit. The Lions Club will be giving out ID kits for kids.”
