Cool cars, hot food at legion By Ali Raza aliraza@yrmg.com uReport Reader-submitted content Submit your photos, videos, game reports and letters to: Auto enthusiasts, rejoice! The Royal Canadian Legion brings Stouffville's roadsters and motor heads together every Tuesday night. Stouffville Branch 459 is hosting its weekly Cruise Nights, where members and people from the community showcase their cars, trucks and motorcycles. The nights also offer a barbecue, live music from WhiStle Radio and 50/50 draws. "We're getting a lot of people coming by with their families," said organizer and legion member Tom Wheeler. "They walk around, look at the cars, and grab a bite to eat." In its fifth year at the legion, Cruise Nights began this summer at the end of May and continue until the end of September. Every Tuesday, Wheeler says, around 40 to 50 classic cars grace the branch parking lot. The event begins at 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and runs until dusk. WhiStle broadcasts live on-site. Visitors can grab a snack or refreshment from the legion's barbecue, while the kitch- en offers chicken fingers, French fries and Kawartha Dairy ice cream. Auto enthusiasts who bring their prized whips enter a draw for prizes on arrival. The reception is growing, Wheeler says. It's his fifth year organizing the event and he believes "it's getting better and better". The vintage cars from the 1940s to the `70s manage to attract crowds. "We're starting to get a lot more people coming, just wanting to see," Wheeler said. The Legion Cruise Nights is a legacy of a car show that took place in the Canadian Tire/A&W parking lots. Wheeler was a participant in the show and decided to host it at the legion when the run at the SmartCentres plaza on Hoover Park Drive ended. Though Wheeler showcases his own '74 Corvette, the oldest car the event gets is from 1929. But there's a wide range of vehicles to see. The event is sponsored by Canadian Tire, 410 Auto, WhiStle Radio, Pure Autographics and the Stouffville legion. The legion is at 150 Mostar St. newsroom@yrmg.com Peter von Richter drove his 1976 Cadillac Eldorado to the Stouffville Legion Cruise Night.
