For the third year in a row, Cruisin’ Downriver
will bring the rumbling of classic cars to Fort Street, and for the
third year in a row, Riverview will be right in the middle of the
action.
Cruisin’ Downriver activities in Riverview will
kick off at 1 p.m. Friday with a classic car rally at Young
Patriots’ Park.
The car show will continue until 9 p.m.
One of Berry Gordy’s original acts, The Contours,
will bring a little Motown sound to the park from 7:30 to 9 p.m.
Best known for the song, "Do You Love Me," the band
has been in the business for 43 years and has sold more than 30
million records.
The city will set up booths and displays Saturday
at Riverview Commons shopping center on the southeast corner of Fort
and Sibley.
