Spanish Springs Cruise In?!!
 

I was shocked to drive by Spanish Spring's Square tonight and see HOW MANY PEOPLE were there. ZERO parking spots. WOW. I think it was some kind of a 'cruise in'. Were you there? Did you feel okay with the amount of people mingling? Certainly not my cup of tea during a pandemic since I have to be super careful to not get sick, but wondering if you felt safe enough to attend.

Seems like most people think the pandemic is over

I was there, I'm good with it.

Yes, I felt safe enough to attend.

What exactly was going on in the square. I know there was the Delight band but was it a car show?

In normal times it's once a month on a Saturday at SS. Certain car clubs will be featured and cars start to arrive around 3pm and the band starts at 4pm. Usually the band is one the top 5 groups, such as Rocky & the Rollers, Johnny Wild & the Deelites, The Hooligans, Uncle Bob's Rock Shop and couple of others. They'll sometimes add a third beer stand, a portable tent on the north side of the square. Some of the food trailers will be there such as Bobalou's BBQ, my favorite. I believe today was the first Cruise-in since last March.

Short answer.....yes

Yikes, were those pictures taken tonight? I hope not, people packed tight and just about no one wearing a mask. We have always enjoyed the cruise in, but it’s not a “to die for” event. You won’t find us there until we have been Covid vaccinated.

Monthly cruise nite started up again. There were about 100-150 cars on display parked around the square. Not all that crowded compared to normal. I paid no attention to the crowd inside the square.

Above pictures not from tonight.

Thanks for the explanation and pictures. Nice cars!!

I was wondering the same. However, I don’t see ONE single person with a mask. I don’t think these are new pics.

That's a huge part of the problem.

Yes, they are the 3rd Saturday of the month.

OMG...this constitutes a large gathering...just the thing the CDC says to avoid and not attend. This pandemic is not over folks...

If you have health issues stay home away from crowds. We are fed up with living in fear and shutdown from Corona. If you die you die, your time is up. Live the few years you have left.
