Provo Parade and Cruise-In

Wed, 10/16/2013 - 9:09pm — Diane Dyer

Saturday October 12, a large contingent gathered at the Provo Community Building for their yearly Cruise-In for Butler County Cancer Assistance sponsored by Final Finish as well as Quick Fuel (a division of Holley), Lost River Power Sports and Beech Bend Raceway and Waterpark and a special thanks to MGM Specialties for the trophies.
Before the cruise-in, there was a first: Provo had their first ever parade. The parade began in the Monticello Baptist Church parking lot and stretched the length of Provo. The same cars, trucks, tractors and motorcycles that would later compete for trophies took part in the parade. There were also several residents riding horses, and a few who walked the route. The parade route led straight to the Rural Development building. It was a beautiful day for a parade.

The emcee for the event was Spivey Williams, director of Event Radio Productions. Winners were as follows:

Kenneth Forbes won Best Tractor for his 1955 Super 77 Oliver. Emcee Spivey Williams looks on.

Barry Embry won for Best Bike for his 2008 Screamin’ Eagle. His wife, Melissa, accepted on his behalf.

Kevin Wilson won Best Car for his 1977 Chevelle.

Doris Bray, who accepted award for Best Truck on behalf of Terry "Scooter" Dwyer for his 1986 Silverado.

Several items were raffled at the event. Bobby McGuyer won a $100 Final Finish gift card. Holley Performance donated a certificate for a carburetor, won by Steve Layne.

Bobby Bray won a GPS.

Bobby McGuyer won the 50/50 drawing ($400). He gave his winnings back to Cancer Assistance, once again proving the immense generosity of the Provo Community.
