Cruisin’ the Coast is less than two weeks away, and boxes full of supplies are stacking up.

“This is where the rubber meets the road,” registration director Craig Grisoli said. “People are very hyped up about it. Word of mouth has been spreading for a couple years now about our 25th anniversary.”

For the silver milestone, Grisoli said they’re giving away a silver 1957 Chevrolet convertible. Coastwide, about 1,500 volunteers are set to keep it moving.

“We’re known for our car show, but we’re really known for our hospitality. And those volunteers really put forth the effort to be friendly and to be helpful, and so forth,” Grisoli said. “So we ask people to be patient. You know, Highway 90′s gonna be busy.”
