(Atlantic) Another Cruise Night will be held in Atlantic this Thursday.
Tony Miller organized the event after seeing another community doing a cruise night to get people out and about safely during this pandemic. The first Cruise Night, held last Thursday, was a big hit.
“I really just want to thank the community as a whole, I don’t want to take a lot of credit for it, I just made the event but the community is what made it awesome. The Atlantic Fire Department coming out and hanging the flag was great. I spoke to the Atlantic Police Department; they’re supporting it as well. As long as we all behave ourselves, I can see this event happening for a very long time,” said Miller.
Cruise Night will take place from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 2nd.
“I’ve had a chance to speak with a few people within the City and they’re going to make sure that the Christmas lights are on. We’re going to try to wrap it up around 8:30 and we’ll do the same thing; drive up and down the streets and wave at people, see people,” said Miller. “I know there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes with different organizations that have some things in the works, but I don’t want to say too much because I don’t know what all will transpire. But, we’re going to get out there and do it again.”
Miller asks that you please be considerate of the people who live downtown and keep the honking down a bit. Be safe, maintain social distancing, and follow all guidelines set by the Governor and the CDC.
Miller said he will continue to put this event out there for as long as people want to participate and as long as the Governor’s and CDC guidelines will allow.
“I think it’s a really good thing where we’re all staying in our cars, however we still get to see one another because I think that’s been lacking in these past few weeks,” said Miller.
Miller’s ultimate goal is to have a cruise night sometime this summer where they can actually park and talk to one another and visit all of the small businesses that we need to rally around right now.
