Toms River, NJ ... Fans of classic cars and motorcycles will want to come down to enjoy the rev'n and roar of the engines at the July 9th Cruisin' Downtown on Washington Street, Toms River.  The season continues with hundreds of cars and the featured band Four Man Trio  (www.4mantrio.com).  The monthly display of vintage cars, including 20th century classics, customized hot rods, collector's edition vehicles, and motorcycles is presented by Downtown Toms River and the Vintage Auto Club of Ocean County.  Live musical entertainment at each "Cruisin' Downtown" is a unique feature of the event, which takes place the second Wednesday of each month through September, from 6 to 9 pm.  The events are free and restaurants and shops will be open.

Four Man Trio is a New Jersey based band that has been playing on the metropolitan music scene for the past 30 years.  Their vocal harmonies blend together perfectly as they perform hits from the '50's through '80's.  DJ Dave will be on hand to keep the tunes rolling, and the ever popular Elvis impersonator Ray Kaminski will be shaking it up at the corner of Robbins and Washington Streets.  Vendors, contests, prizes and giveaways round out the event and offer something for everyone.  

Owners with vintage automobile models dating prior to 1982 are eligible to participate and must register at the Downtown Toms River event booth on the corner of Washington Street and Court House Lane to obtain a dash plaque. Registration is free.  Best of Show trophies are presented by the Vintage Auto Club to the top three automobiles at each "Cruisin' Downtown" event. Owners displaying cars should report to Hadley Avenue, off Hooper Avenue, between 4 and 5 p.m., facing south to Washington Street.  Representatives from the Vintage Auto Club will be on hand to direct participants.

For motorcycle enthusiasts and proud owners, members of the Trinity Motorcycle Ministry will be available at the motorcycle registration table on the corner of Main and Washington Streets to direct motorcycle parking on those streets and along Hyers Street.

"Cruisin Downtown" is sponsored by Capone's Gourmet Pizza & Restaurant, FirstEnergy Foundation, JCP&L, United Water Toms River, Mr. Alan's Florist, Comcast, New Jersey Natural Gas, Tracy Harman Photography, and radio stations WJRZ and the WRAT. Created to encourage tourism and attract area residents to the historic business district of Toms River, "Cruisin' Downtown" is among several special events scheduled throughout the year by Downtown Toms River.  

Other events include the 6th Annual New Jersey State Ice Cream Festival, July 19; the 3rd annual Pizza, Pasta, Pastry Festival, September 27 and the Farmers' Market on Wednesdays through October 22.
