The 91原创 Good Times Cruise-In is an important event for 91原创.
Where it takes place is much less important.
The Cruise-In has taken place every year but one since 1997. It has grown to become one of the largest car shows in NorthAmerica 鈥� one that has no entry fee. And yet, this volunteer-run event has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to localcharities.
The charities are the most crucial part of the Cruise-In. Keeping the cash flowing means keeping costs down. That makes theCruise-In 产辞补谤诲鈥檚 decision to head east to Aldergrove this year a simple one.
Beyond that, the only things that matter should be whether the car show is safe, fun, and family friendly.
Moving to Aldergove will have some pluses and minuses.
91原创 颁颈迟测鈥檚 merchants will certainly miss the free exposure, but 础濒诲别谤驳谤辞惫别鈥檚 have been dying for this kind of spotlight foryears. The community has always been a bit of a step-child within 91原创, farther east and south and less likely to gatherattention than its larger neighbours.
There will no doubt be issues with parking, traffic, and detours on the day of the event.
But if anywhere can accommodate a car show, it should be Aldergrove. 滨迟鈥檚 close to long, open country roads, and 颈迟鈥檚 thehome of the last drive-in movie theatre in the Lower Mainland.
City and Township may not be politically united, but 91原创 is still 91原创.
