Community Cruise In

Families are invited to an afternoon of classic cars, hot rods and activities Saturday at the first Community Cruise In presented by the Washington Township Substation of the Montgomery County Sheriff ’s Office. The rain date is Aug. 3, 2019.

The free event takes place from noon to 3 p.m. at Watts Middle School, 7056 McEwen Road. Highlights include hot dogs grilled by sheriff ’s deputies, 1950’s sock hop music by a Centerville High School deejay, and the opportunity to explore police, fire and SWAT vehicles. All makes and models of cars and hotrods will cruise the grounds and be displayed.

“Our goal is to offer some good family fun. It’s a priority for us to reach out to the community,” said Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck.

Local businesses and organizations also will be on site with activities such as corn hole, an inflatable soccer goal for practice shots, and a blow-up obstacle course by Bounce a Roo. SICSA staff will bring some puppies, Centerville Crossfit will present workout demonstrations, and a number of car-related vendors will have displays. Washington Township substation’s new crime prevention trailer will be on site and deputies will provide child ID services and crime prevention information.
