The National Road “Rolling Cruise” is this Saturday.
You are encouraged to participate, and encourage friends and family to come out this Saturday morning (May 31st) for the ‘drive on the National Road'.
Here are the details...In conjunction with the Third Annual National Road Yard Sale, the Saturday, May 31st, the Licking County Bicentennial Commission is sponsoring a “National Road (U.S. 40) Rolling Cruise”.
According to Doug Smith, of the Licking County Bicentennial Commission, the ‘rolling cruise’ on the historic National Road will be Saturday, May 31st beginning in Gratiot in eastern Licking County. This is a free event, and anyone with a vintage or antique vehicle, a 60’s muscle car, or any other vehicle is welcome to participate.
The line-up, on the old section of Route 40 (Main Street) in Gratiot will begin around 9:30am, and the ‘cruise’ will begin rolling at 10:00am with an escort from County Sheriff Randy Thorp. This parade of vehicles will travel some 15-miles to Hebron and a midday stop is planned at the Arrowhead Plaza (Kroger Store) just east of State Route 79 on the south side of the National Road.
Spectators are invited to arrive at the shopping center around 10:30am to witness the arrival of the ‘rolling cruise’ and talk to the drivers. Shortly after 12-noon those who wish will continue to ‘cruise’ west to Etna on the National Road. At that point the parade will break-up to avoid the construction congestion west of Etna on U.S. 40. Participants in the ‘rolling cruise’ will receive a Bicentennial memento of the occasion.
This event is just a small part of the Third Annual National Road Yard Sale. This five-day event, from May 28th to June 1st, is featured along the entire 824-miles length of the National Road, including the section here in Licking County.
