Georgetown (Halton Hills ) plays host to Thursday evening’s display of classic collector automobiles and rock and roll music.
This is the concept of the Georgetown cruise night car show, running through mid May to the end of September, organized by dedicated car people with the help of business owners in and around Georgetown.
Starting in 2000 at Halton Tire (R&R Auto Service), the late Scott Moore started the cruise night and shortly after Lee Martin , Mike and Lynne Boyd joined to help organize the event. The organizers were amazed and deeply appreciative of the local support received from classic car owners in and around Georgetown.
Due to overwhelming participation it was decided to move the cruise in 2001 to a larger location near the Boston Pizza / A&W on highway 7 , enjoying 8 seasons at that location.
Three seasons were located at the Georgetown Market Place and the last 5 cruise seasons are located at Nashville North in Norval .
Thursday evenings this summer we will be celebrating our 18th.Year cruise season with our location at Nashville North, 530 Guelph Street, Hwy 7. at Winston Churchill Blvd. We are recognized as one of the region’s greatest summer cruising events celebrating the classic car hobby. The cruise starts at 5 p.m. when classic cars of every make and description rolling into the parking lot. Upon entry to the cruise the classic car owners are welcomed by Lynne & Mike Boyd and Bill & Sharon Gower, presented a door prize ticket with a chance to take home a gift from many of the local business sponsors.
During the evening until 9 pm, car owners and spectators listen to great oldies cruise tunes and for added listening enjoyment participants are reminded and informed of upcoming classic car events. As the evening proceeds, car folks enjoy marvelling at wonderful automobiles and enjoying food venues surrounding the event.
The big winner at the end of each evening is the Georgetown Hospital Foundation, with over $49,500.00 being donated over the past 17 years. As the classic car owners and spectator admission to the show is free, the organizers are grateful for funds raised through the 50/50 draws and sponsor contributions. A great example of the collector car hobby helping people right in their neighborhood.
