Garden Grove Friday Night Cruise


	Garden Grove Friday Night Cruise 8-22-08 Historic Main Street Garden Grove, Calif. Story & Photographs by Roger Rohrdanz



		Car Show Logo

Started 14 years ago, Historic Main Street Garden Grove has been the site of a Friday night car show. Every Friday Hot Rods line up on a very picturesque, tree lined Main Street. Rodders and spectators have several restaurants and shops to explore in this very comfortable, family oriented setting. After his 2 year absence, Gary Brown has returned as the event promoter. Gary has owned Gary’s Woodcrafts on Main Street for 20 years. He and other Historic Main

Street business owners support the family oriented show and provide lots of prizes and a great 50/50. DJ music is playing along the street and the mood is laid back and entertaining. Every Friday during August “Elvis” is alive and performs for the crowd. Don’t miss the Elvis memorial in the Azteca bar. It is hard to beat this event for a fun Friday night.

Thanks for the Show!!
