The parade of 'cool cars' cruised through the streets of Essexville and Bay City as they reached the home of Thelen Auto Group and concluded with a Street Party at Bay Lanes with live music, food and refreshments under the big tent.
In an exclusive interview with Roger Rosebush, owner of Be Cool Radiator, Rosebush said there was approximately 300 cars signed up on Friday. And was expecting a big turn out with a quite a few new events on the weekends schedule, to elevate the car show of events.
First with the addition of Mike Thelen and Thelen Auto Group who teamed up this year with the Be Cool Car Show. And the after party and car display on Friday, at Bay Lanes and Thelen Parking lot.
