Another headlining activity scheduled to be held in conjunction with this year’s Cruisin is the Express Auctioneers Hot Rod and Muscle Car AUCTION on Friday at the Convention Center.

At this year's event we would also like to help the Lions International Eyeglass Recycling Program. If you have used prescription or non prescription glasses or sunglasses in your drawers, desk, or closets you can donate them now! Children's glasses are especially needed. So gather your glasses and bring them to Cruisin. Leave them at the special Lions Club Eyeglass Box at the registration area. Let's show them how generous Cruisers are!

Hope to see you at Cruisin 2008 for some of the most fun you can have in your hot rod at the beach!
