Dozens of motorcycles, trucks, cars — antique and lifted — cruised across Ocean Avenue as onlookers attending the weekly market halted their shopping to watch, wave and snap photos of passing vehicles revving engines, honking horns and blasting music.
Themed"Performing Arts Night," the evening also featured local dance troupes and performers who showcased their talent. Lompoc High School Alumni Association each year organizes a downtown car cruise event as a means to fundraise for the school's scholarship fund. This year, according to organizers, the association will award three scholarships to either graduating seniors of Lompoc High School or Lompoc High School graduates currently attending a community college, four-year university or state college, or trade school.
"Thanks to everyone who volunteered and came out for our Car Cruise today," the association wrote in a statement."What a terrific turnout we had!"
