Hot August Nights cruise set for tonight

Classic cars, and not-so-classic cars, will take to the streets of downtown Lewiston for the Hot August Nights cruise this evening.

The VIP cruise is scheduled for 7-8:30 p.m., and will be followed by the open cruise from 8:30-10 p.m. Those who want to take part in the open cruise must buy a public pass for $10 at the cruise entrance at 13th and Main streets.

Today’s festivities also include a check-in and meet-and-greet at the Clearwater River Casino from 1-5 p.m.; a 4X4 show at Idaho Central Credit Union from 1-4 p.m.; and live music from Dr. Z’s and the MD’s from 7-10 p.m. at New Sixth and Main streets.

The Show & Shine is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday on Main Street. Awards for the best cars will be announced from 3-4 p.m. at Brackenbury Square. Dr. Z’s and the MD’s will again play at the same location throughout the Show & Shine.

Saturday’s festivities will also feature Main Street Grill going for a Guinness World Record for making the largest Philly cheesesteak. Construction of the sandwich will begin at 11 a.m. and is planned to be completed by 11:45 a.m.

The sandwich will be sold in 6-inch pieces for $10 each. All proceeds will benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Lewis Clark Valley.

Hot August Nights got started Thursday with the Rogers Motors Tune-up Show & Shine.
