Good turn-out for Tiverton Park Manor Cruise Night; and other Tiverton news

Classic car and vehicle enthusiasts enjoyed the annual Cruise Night, Wednesday evening, at Tiverton Park Manor, with about 40 vehicles on display. Residents always get a big thrill seeing cars they grew up with, along with some new ones. The ice cream cone stand was a great hit with a long line-up, as well as The King's Pearl barbecue.

Other highlights were the miniature horses from Sunset Miniatures Farms, owned by employee Terri Schell and her husband, Wayne; the face-painting, games and the stuffed animals build-a-bear station. Thanks to all the volunteers, staff, sponsors and participants for making it another big success. See you next year!
