Corey Phillips, Director of the RLC MarketPlace, said the movie night will be the highlight of the event to celebrate a successful year of great car shows.
“We’ll be bringing the college’s new semi-trailer to the north end of the parking lot and we’ll be showing the movie on a tarp. This event is free to anyone who wants to come out and enjoy it with us,†said Phillips. “Lone Star Steakhouse will also be there to sell hot dogs and popcorn during the movie to go along with the theme. This is the last Cruise Night for the year, so we want to go out with a bang.â€
