This year’s Beaver Falls Car Cruise was a huge success and drew cars and spectators from all over the area.  WBVP and WMBA did a live broadcast from the event that was simulcast over 6 D.J. sound systems on 7th Avenue in Beaver falls.  Dozens of Vendors and food selections turned this year’s Beaver Falls Car cruise into a carnival like atmosphere that provided lots of enjoyment for young and old alike.  Frank Spark anchored the day’s activities on Beaver County Radio.
