Cruise Night

Looking down Main Street last Thursday, one could have been transported back in time. With a record number of 60 cars registered and eight kiddie cars, Cruise Night 2023 was definitely deemed a success. The event was sponsored by the Laurel Chamber Club with Laurel EMS serving up burgers and hot dogs to the 400 people that attended. The kids with kiddie cars, like Lilly and Cora McLaughlin (below), also took home a prize. Entertainment was provided by the Elite Dance Company, Wayne, with three young ladies performing their solo dances. Maya Brummels (right) was one of three girls who provided entertainment, along with Isabella Lawyer (far right), who performs her dance routine. (bottom right) Craig Gutz presents Randy Swanson the People’s Choice Award for Cruise Night. 08/23/2023 12:00 AM
