RetroFest Cruise Rolls Out Tonight

RetroFest is off to an early start this year, but there are plenty of activities still to come including the Classic Car Cruise tonight.

The cars will start lining up at the John D. Bradley Convention Centre on Richmond St. in Chatham at 4pm. Also this year, the public will have a chance to look at the 1st OPP Responder Car -- it'll be inside the Bradley Centre until the cruise starts at 6pm.

The cruise will pull out onto Richmond St. and head along the same route as last year, eventually heading down to King St. at 5th St. where drivers will then loop around the downtown area.

Organizers are once again reminding drivers that the cruise is not a parade, so cruisers are still required to obey all traffic laws while they are out on the road.
