Classic Car Cruise-In set for Pathfinder Village
NYCM Employees host community event for car & ice cream enthusiasts
Edmeston, New York, July 18, 2023 ... Meet Syracuse University’s Otto the Orange, dance to Elvis’ hits, savor ice cream treats, and enjoy gleaming restored vehicles at this year’s Cruise-In at Pathfinder Village on Thursday, August 3, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Organized by employees of NYCM’s Casualty Department, this community event will include voting for the “Best of Show” vehicle. The Cruise-In is free and all are welcome.
Volunteers will serve free Gilligan’s of Sherburne ice cream with all the toppings, including Pathfinder’s signature flavor, “Pathfinder Palooza,” which premiered at last year’s Cruise-In. Listen to classic music hits with a special performance by Elvis Tribute Artist Don Brown, and see Otto, SU’s beloved mascot, who will be inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame in Whiting, Ind. with the Class of 2023 later this summer.
Co-Chairs Kim Mack and Pete Smith of NYCM invite all area vintage car owners to share their vehicles with fans at the Pathfinder Pavilion. No advance registration is required. The second annual “Best of Show” trophy will be presented that evening; last year’s inaugural award went to the Hunter Family of West Winfield for their 1947 MG TD roadster.
“We hope all classic car lovers will join us for an evening ‘just for fun.’ It’s about embracing community, enjoying a great setting, learning about some fantastic, restored cars, and celebrating the long partnership between NYCM and Pathfinder,” said Mrs. Mack. “We’re grateful to Gilligan’s, Don Brown, our friends at Syracuse University, and our local car enthusiasts for supporting a night of community fun.”
