BID holds Cruise-In and Main Street Sweep Friday
NORWICH – The Norwich Business Improvement District is jumping into spring with two events this week that they hope will clean up downtown and bring people from all over the county to downtown Norwich.
In an effort to clean up the downtown area before the start of the busy summer season, the BID will hold the Main Street Sweep beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday. Volunteers who want to help clean up the downtown area are welcome to meet at The Dollar Tree parking lot and be prepared for a morning of hosing down sidewalks, washing windows for some of the merchants, weeding the curb area and picking up the trash that has accumulated during the cold winter months.
“All volunteers are encouraged to come and help out,” LoPresti said. The project usually lasts until noon or slightly later. The group tries to clean as much as they can on the Broad and Main street corridors. Any individual or civic group is welcome to attend.
This year, the Main Street Sweep will be held just a few hours before the annual Classic Car Cruise-In. LoPresti explained that the BID decided it would be a good idea to get the streets of Norwich cleaned up before downtown fills up with people during the Memorial Day weekend activities.
The Seventh Annual Cruise-In will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday night in East Side Park and the Frontier parking lot. Classic cars, hot rods, and motorcycles will fill the park. This is the first year motorcycles have been included in the Cruise-In.
“We invite all car buffs to show off their vehicles at the Cruise-In,” LoPresti said. “This is a fun way to kick off the Memorial Day festivities, and to bring people downtown.”
There is no fee for vehicles or onlookers at the show, and there will be no judging. However, prizes will be given away throughout the evening, including cash, donations from local merchants, and a 50/50 raffle.
“This event happens because of the support of the police department, the merchants and the volunteers. They make this happen,” LoPresti said.
Over 125 cars were shown at last year’ Cruise-In, and hundreds of onlookers enjoyed the display.
