3rd Annual Pardeesville Cruise Night — A Huge Success!

Our 2024 event was held on Saturday August 17th at the Pardeesville Playground in Hazle Twp. Although the weather was not favorable this year with scattered showers, we still had 121 pre-registered vehicles going into the show and another 21 drive-up vehicles the day of the event. We also had a little over 600 people in attendance and 185 tricky tray raffle baskets were donated. Live music was provided by two local bands, The Legends and North of 40. Despite the weather conditions, attendees brought their umbrellas and came to show their support!

There were also several food vendors and activities for the kids. All proceeds from this event will go towards Cancer Patient Assistance / Research Programs and Suicide Awareness / Prevention Programs in our Community. Total proceeds from this year's event will be announced live on local tv at the American Cancer Society's Telethon on Saturday November 23rd.

Please join our group on Facebook for continuous updates. We would like to extend a huge thank you to all that attended and supported our 2024 event.
