The final cruise-in of the 2023 season will take place beginning at 5 p.m. Friday on the Hope Town Square.

The event is open to any and all cars and bikes, organizers say, with an array of prizes, including gift cards, up for grabs, says Jason Eckart, Hope Town Manager.

Last month's event brought in more than $1,000 for the Yellow Trail Museum and more than 80 cars registered, Eckart says. 

"We are hoping for this event will be the biggest cruise-in of the year," Eckart says. "We have a few prizes gathered up to give out this month, also." 

This month, all proceeds will go to benefit the Hope Minsterial Association. 

"They do a lot of great things for the people of this town," Eckart says. 

On the bandstand, 3 Beards Strumming will perform throughout the evening.
