Summer fun
The Inkster Police Department, St. Clements Episcopal Church and the Boy Scouts of
America organized a Summer Camp for youth which took place Aug. 16-18 at the
church. Participants enjoyed archery, crime scene techniques, fingerprinting, a BBgun
challenge and other activities during the days of activities. About 50 youngsters partici-
pated the first day of the event, due organizers said, to rainy weather. There was no
registration fee and all were welcome at the camps where the Inkster Police
Department took responsibility for cooking lunch for the campers.
The 6th Annual Cruisin' Hines event
will take place beginning at 9 a.m. Aug. 28
whenHines Parkwill be floodedwith clas-
sic cars. Gates open for entrance at Ford
Road for the official Autopalooza event
The 6th year of the event has surpassed
all other auto events in Michigan by car
count, according to Don Nicholson, presi-
dent of Don Nicholson Enterprises, which
organizes the event..
“No other cruise allows only classics on
the road. It's a great day to come to Hines
Park and enjoy the rolling car show.
Families come down on bicycles and tour
the park and see classics parked along the
7.5mile route,” he said.
He said that cars like the Batmobile,
Munsters Koach, Herbie, Mach 5 from
Speed Racer, The Mutt Mobile van from
the movie Dumb and Dumber, and many
other car celebrities would be in the
cruise and that Art Cervi, better known as
Bozo the Clown, would also be on hand at
the event.
Nicholson said that drivers need only
bring their classic car to Ford Road and
Hines Drive and staff members would
direct them to the cruise. Only street legal
vehicles are allowed to cruise, he said and
no mini bikes, or golf carts would be
allowed. Bicycles should stay on the bike
path or follow the flow of traffic, he added
and there should be no passing on the
right.
“Burnouts are not permitted. This is a
safe fun, family friendly event,” Nicholson
said.
