The San Bernardino County Library put literacy in the fast lane Saturday as classic cars, rock ‘n’ roll and Route 66 nostalgia rolled into the Hesperia Branch Library for the inaugural Read, Write & Cruise Car Show.
Held Saturday, Aug. 8, the free community event drew over 600 visitors and showcased over 60 classic, custom and specialty vehicles, giving car enthusiasts and families plenty of reasons to get their kicks while celebrating the legendary highway that has helped shape San Bernardino County’s automotive history.
The day officially got rolling with a flag ceremony presented by the High Desert District-California Inland Empire Council (CIEC), setting the stage for an afternoon of cars, community and family fun. Scouts remained on-site throughout the event, offering children of all ages the opportunity to experience the excitement of Pinewood Derby racing and put their own need for speed to the test.
