LANSING, Ill. (August 15, 2021) – Perfect weather made Saturday’s Cruise Night, August 14, arguably the best of the 2021 series. The June 12 Cruise Night was unseasonably hot and humid — though well-attended — and the July 10 Cruise Night was rained out. But the August Cruise Night, the final Cruise Night of 2021, was sunny and temperate, and car lovers from around the area came to Lansing to enjoy an evening downtown.
The Lansing Journal set up a table at the event, which provided an opportunity to engage passersby and to invite input on our 2022 Lansing Calendar experiment. Staffing a table did, however, limit our journalistic coverage of the event. Below are the few photos we managed to capture of the event.
The August Cruise Night was sponsored by LACE, the Lansing Association for Community Events, as were the June and July Cruise Nights. Their next big event is Autumn Fest, which is coming up in September this year.
