The weather was perfect Friday evening for car enthusiasts to show off their sweet rides for two good causes! Buckeye Cruisers hosted a special Friday Night Cruise at Central District Lima in downtown Friday evening with a variety of muscle, sports, and historical cars out for display. The cruise in was all for two good causes in Allen County raising funds via donations and a 50-50 raffle to benefit the Allen County Veterans Food Pantry and Deb's Dogs. Donations of food and pet supplies were also welcomed. Organizers say the event is all about community and supporting one another.
The group hosted the cruise-in after their car shows were canceled from the coronavirus which consists of sports cars, classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and lowriders from different parts of the state, and even out of state. The event included a food vendor, the You Matter tent, and a 50/50 raffle with half of the proceeds going to Deb’s Dogs, which is a cause near and dear to the group.
