(Beaver Falls, PA) An estimated 3,000 cars roared through Beaver Falls on a beautiful June Saturday afternoon as near perfect conditions led to one of the biggest turn outs for the annual Beaver Falls Car Cruise ever. Beaver County Radio did a live broadcast from 12 noon to 7 P.M. and the personality prize wheel was in full swing as many tried but only a select few won an awesome prize. WBVP-WMBA show hosts and announcers including Frank Sparks, Matt Drzik, Bob Barrickman and Pat Septak, along with other radio station staffers, participated in the live broadcast from 7th Avenue in Beaver Falls.
The cruise featured over 30 food vendors and many more booths providing information about many local Beaver County nonprofit organizations.
The highlight of the day was a special veterans parade that happened in the opening ceremonies. Service men and women from World War II, Vietnam, Korea, Desert Storm and Afghanistan were honored during the special ceremony that kicked off the festivities at noon on Saturday.

The Beaver Falls Car Cruise was organized by the Beaver Falls Car Cruise Committee with Steve Peterson, Tom Gargaro and Sam Florida serving as Co-Chairmen. Prior to the cruise, the three men along with Brian McNeely and Bob Pusateri posed for a picture last week with their cars at one of the event main sponsors, Ron Lewis Ford Kia in Beaver Falls.
