‘Summer Car Cruise-in & Eats’ held in downtown Sturgis
It was another pleasant evening Friday for a downtown Sturgis event.
Ryan Conrod, event coordinator for Sturgis Downtown Development Authority, said turnout was high for “Summer Car Cruise-in & Eats.”
"Kids Korner" was new to the event and featured face-painting, bounce houses and a balloon artist. Conrod said that was well-attended.
Among those to take part in face-painting was 3-year-old Amelia Jordan of Colon. She got a rainbow painted by Jessica Higginbotham of Facetastic who also was joined by Carol Anderson of Festive Faces and Body Art. Jordan had come out to the event with her parents, Jarrett and Ian. They were celebrating dad’s birthday.
Also at the car show were friends Marion Wooten and Jim Hudson, both of Sturgis. Each has a 1955 Chevy: Wooten’s is yellow, Hudson’s is red. They travel with their wives to area car shows and said it’s a good way to socialize and meet new people.
Melanie Golden of Open Door Gallery engraved locks for the new MI Love Locks permanent art fixture on North Street. The locks also are available at Open Door Gallery.
Conrod said “Movies on North” was well-attended, with a showing of “Oz The Great and Powerful.”
“It was great to see the community come out for a free movie,” he said.
Acoustic musicians and food vendors also were featured.
