Please follow some simple measures to stay safe when cruising Main Street:

1. Ride with family members only and honk loudly.

2. Stay in your vehicles–except your hands to wave!

3. Drive slowly and watch the distance between vehicles.

4. Do not gather vehicles in parking lots and get out to visit.

5. If you are sick, stay home!
