A reminder that today is the Cruisin’ to the Square event in downtown Jefferson.

Co-organizer Chuck Wenthold says the streets around the square are blocked off to traffic at 1pm for the event to take place between 4:30 and 7pm. There will be several cars, trucks, motorcycles, and tractors lining the streets of Jefferson. Wentold points out awards for best car, truck, motorcycle, tractor, interior, paint, engine and most likely to get a ticket from law enforcement will be done towards the end of the event.

Additionally, Greene County Cattlemen’s Association are grilling hotdogs, hamburgers and ribeye sandwiches, along with a food truck near the Thomas Jefferson Gardens and the Jefferson Does are serving pie and ice cream. Murphy Farm Meats are also hosting a BBQ Cook Off in front of their new location in Jefferson northwest of the square. People can also participate in a poker walk promotion with eight participating retailers and if you get seven of eight stamps and submit your card, you can pick five playing cards and the top eight best poker hands will receive $25 in Chamber Bucks. 

Plus, Raccoon Valley Radio’s Big Red Radio will be broadcasting live in front of the Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower from 4-6pm.
