SYRACUSE — “’Cruise In ‘Cuse’ is alive and well with the American Legion Riders Post 223 in Syracuse,” said Randy Rinker, one of the ALR Cruise-In’s organizers.
The cruise-in takes place from 5-8 pm Friday, May 24, at the Legion, 1008 S. Huntington St., Syracuse. The family event will include food, music and fun, including a 50/50 drawing. Cars, trucks and motorcycles are welcome to participate in the cruise-in.
“The American Legion Riders are the backbone of this event,” continued Rinker. “Without all of them, this would not be possible. This is a family event with food, music and great looking cars, trucks and motorcycles. This is an annual event, and we hope it grows for a kickoff of summer fun in Syracuse.”
