p.m. on the Battle
Ground NAPA music
stage.
Parking along Main Street is
encouraged for all cruise partici-
pants, registrants should feel free
to park on all sides of the cruise
route after 7 p.m. The Burn-Out
Pit will also return to this year’s
Car Cruise, and participants will
get a chance to burn some rubber
in the Urban Basics parking lot.
Price and Cody Gray, another
event organizer, said the owners
of Urban Basics are complete-
ly giving their entire storefront
a makeover just for the Harvest
Days events and Car Cruise.
Several different groups have
confirmed that they will par-
ticipate in the Harvest Nights
Cruise, including Battle Ground
Classic Cruizers, The Pharaohs
Street Rodders, the Columbia
River Camaro Club, Kyron Hor-
man’s group and others.
Also on Friday evening, sev-
eral different businesses in Old
Town Battle Ground will stay
open late for customers who are
attending the Car Cruise.
Diane Harris, owner of Old
Town Battle Grounds, said that
the past two years during the
Harvest Nights Cruise they have
served sandwiches, beer and
wine in their front yard. This
year, she said they will extend
their late-night hours for
the Saturday festivities as well
and will stay open until 10 p.m.
on both Friday and Saturday.
Keno Leighty, marketing/pro-
motional director for South Pacif-
ic Cafe Lounge, said they will
use their parking lot again this
year to host a huge cruise night
party. The party will include a
beer garden and food. Last year,
Leighty said they had about 200
people attend.
According to organizers of
the Harvest Nights Car Cruise,
the cruise was created for three
reasons. First, they wanted to
bring the “heart” back to the
Battle Ground community by
providing a fun, family-ori-
ented atmosphere to Harvest
Days; second, they wanted to
help support the area businesses
and give them
an opportunity
to promote their business and
prosper; third, they wanted to
pick area charities within the
North Clark County community
to benefit from the event.
This year, two different
groups will benefit from the mon-
ey raised during the Car Cruise
– the North County Community
Food Bank and the City of Battle
Ground First Responders.
Price said the Car Cruise
event wouldn’t be possible with-
out the volunteer hours put in by
numerous City of Battle Ground
staff, as well as help from the
Clark County Sheriff’s Reserve.
She said they are always looking
for more volunteers to help with
the event.
Although Wrench Works is
the presented sponsor for this
year’s event, Price said more than
30 sponsors are helping to make
the Car Cruise event possible.
“It’s great seeing all of the
car-related shops coming together
to support this event,” Price said.

Last year, the annual Bat-
tle Ground Harvest Nights Car
Cruise, held as a part of the Har-
vest Days Celebration in Battle
Ground, attracted more than 450
participants and their vehicles,
and raised enough money for the
cruise committee to be able to
present $2,000 to both the North
County Community Food Bank
and the Battle Ground Veterans
Memorial Project.
This year’s Car Cruise, which
will be held the evening of Fri.,
July 18, could see an even bigger
turnout.
“We anticipate even more
registrants this year,” said Amy
Price, one of the Harvest Days
event organizers. “We
are capping it at 500
for pre-registration.
The crowds will
be insane.”
