Super Cruise has returned to the City of Wauseon this year. The first Super Cruise of the year took place on Tuesday, May 21st and lasted from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
This year’s Cruise Night events have changed, with regular Cruise Nights no longer taking place. Super Cruise has taken over and will be the sole cruise night event during the month.
Wauseon’s Cruise Nights have been held since 1991. With the threat looming from last year that the event as a whole may come to an end, a new committee was formed which has resulted in the Super Cruise nights we have today.
Some additional changes have taken place, including the first Super Cruise being held in May and September.
Additionally, a marketplace has been planned for the events this year, which include multipurpose vendors, food vendors, automotive vendors, and home good vendors.
During this year’s May Super Cruise, several other mini events were planned throughout the night, including a talk about the Yellowstone Trail and an Operation Clean Duds Raffle.
Super Cruise Chairperson Angel Matthews explained that proceeds from the raffle go to help do laundry for those in need in six counties. The winner of the raffle was to receive a quarter steer that was fully processed.
Matthews also explained that everyone is excited to hold the event again this year. “We are very excited to hold this again this year. We are always looking for volunteers. We want to make sure that people can come up and enjoy the car community and hang out in downtown Wauseon.”
