CRUISIN’ THE COAST READY TO ROLL

Hello everyone!
We hope this finds you all well, healthy and happy.
Let’s answer the big question most of you have: Cruisin’ The Coast (CTC) 2020 is still a “GO” as of this writing. We are moving ahead with our plans and hope for the best in October, which is still a little ways away. We’ve been busy pulling everything together, planning to see you next month.
We’ve been placing a lot of focus on health and safety. We will follow federal, state and local guidelines as best we can, with your help. To that end, we will take enhanced measures for you, our volunteers and guests. We are bringing on additional (twice as many) hand-wash stations. Portable facilities will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized each morning and again during the day. Our volunteers will be issued masks, hand sanitizer and gloves.
We are depending on you to take appropriate personal protections and recognize and practice safety recommendations as well. Please bring your personal
hand sanitizer of choice. Wear your mask if you choose. Glove up if you’d like. We
recommend that anytime you are in line, please keep six feet apart. That’s about half a car length!
Cruise Central will be back at Centennial Plaza this year. Last year was a learning experience for us and for you. From the “cool as it gets” department, CTC will again host a leg of the Street Rodder Road Tour. They will be making appearances at select CTC venues and will have evening showcases at the IP Casino Resort Spa. They are a great bunch of hot rodders and very entertaining to talk to.
It has been a much different spring and summer for all of us. We are hoping CTC will bring some much-needed relief and happiness.
We’ll see you soon,
Woody Bailey
