Cruise Night turns 20

McLEANSBORO — More than 130 cars took part in the 20th annual Cruise Night on the downtown square here Saturday.

“Since there were so many other car shows in the immediate area, it was great to see more than 130 cars throughout the tri-state area in McLeansboro,” Jerry G. Prince, chairman of the Kiwanis Club Car Show Committee, said. “Taking into consideration the price of fuel, we were very fortunate to have been the host of a car show with both quantity and quality.”

Special trophies and “Top 50” plaques were awarded during the event. The list of trophy winners, as provided by event organizers, follows; look for a list of the Top 50 plaque recipients in next week’s newspaper:
