<strong>The</strong> <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Life</strong>: What is the goal of West Fargo Cruise<br />
Nights?<br />
Cody Wendelbo: <strong>The</strong> goal is for everyone to bring their<br />
cars out and have a good time.<br />
GL: Is Cruise Night a car competition?<br />
CW: No, it’s not a contest. We just want people to show<br />
up, bring their cars and have a good time. <strong>The</strong>y don’t have to<br />
be perfect.<br />
GL: What types of rides will we see at Cruise Night?<br />
CW: All types of cars and motorcycles. Everyone has their<br />
own idea of what’s cool. All types of cars are welcome.<br />
For the past four years, the numbers of cars and<br />
motorcycles that participate in the event has continued to<br />
swell, as has the number of people whom attend. Newer<br />
features include a motorcycle corral which, last year, included<br />
over 100 motorcycles.<br />
CW: We’ve had anywhere from 450 to 1200 cars and<br />
motorcycles at certain ones (Cruise Nights). It’s hard to<br />
believe!<br />
GL: Is this a family friendly event?<br />
CW: Absolutely. We have food and beverage vendors and<br />
try to maintain the family atmosphere. We do serve alcohol,<br />
but we keep everything under control.<br />
As an underlying reason for Cruise Night, Toppers Car<br />
Club uses the event as a platform to give money to various<br />
local charities that are in need.<br />
CW: Toppers has an indoor car show every year. We<br />
raise money at that and then give that money away to local<br />
charities at each of our Cruise Nights.<br />
GL: What’s the easiest way to sign up for Cruise Night?<br />
CW: <strong>The</strong> easiest way is to just show up, park your ride<br />
and come to the event tent to fill out a window card. We just<br />
need the year, make and model of your ride and that’s it!<br />
This year’s Cruise Nights events kick off on June 19 and<br />
are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month from 4:30pm<br />
to 9:00pm on Sheyenne Street in West Fargo.<br />
If you can’t make it to the event, <strong>The</strong> Jay Thomas Show<br />
live broadcasts from 2:00pm to 5:00pm from each Cruise<br />
Night event on 970 AM and, this year, WDAY TV will be<br />
broadcasting live from Cruise Night on <strong>August</strong> 21st.<br />
West Fargo Cruise Nights is one of the many events that<br />
showcase what this area is all about: celebrating the short<br />
summer months by getting together, having a good time,<br />
and raising funds for worthy causes in our area. So, shine<br />
up your ride, head out to Sheyenne Street and come join the<br />
fun!<br />
