June’s Strawberry Classic Cruise-In featured cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s and offered delectable refreshments as a reprieve from the summer heat. 

Attendees enjoyed food from classic diner themed cars and sweets from a bake sale booth ran by Katie Martino, who is raising awareness and money for her kidney transplant fund. Vendors along Palmer Street also sold items like unique jewelry, home goods and art. 

The classic cars had a run for their money this month with the appearance of unique crowd favorites like Lightning McQueen from Disney’s “Cars.”
