A First Friday and Car Show THANK YOU!

A HUGE thank you to all who came out for Downtown Perrysburg, Inc.'s First Friday and our 11th Annual Cruise by the River!

Thank you to all who helped out with First Friday and the Car Show this weekend! We had over 30 vendors show up for First Friday, soaked a few good sports in our dunk tank, climbed the Camp Storer climbing wall, and burned a few calories dancing on the Huntington Stage with the Dance Factory. The Car Show was a hit! Just over 180 cars rolled into downtown Saturday morning. Thunderstorms hit around 1:30, but awards were handed out just in the nick of time.

Thanks again to our First Friday Sponsors: Brown Automotive, Huntington Bank, and Welch Publishing!

To our Car Show sponsors, thank you for supporting another great DPI event - and a special thank you to Skotynsky Financial for providing the Hospitality Suite!
