Kool April Nites
Redding's coolest annual event!
Every year hundreds of the coolest cars around converge on Redding California for the show of the year. Friday night half of Redding is roped off for the annual cruze. 2-3 hours of exhaust fumes squealing tires and the rumble of souped up engines.
Music, food and thousands of spectators lining the streets around the cruse route provide an unforgettable night of entertainment. The evening ends with the "50s Dance" near the civic auditorium.
Here's a small example of some of the cars and trucks you will find on the cruse.
Saturday is the main day to spend some time checking out the cars. Parked on the lawn of the Civic Auditorium the cars provide the main show allowing spectators to check them out close up.
If your in the northern California Area don't miss this great event. My family, friends and I bring out the lawn chairs and have a picnic every year while watching the cruse.

2008 Event Date
This year they scheduled the show starting Wednesday April 16.
Another great show! Great weather this year and a great turn out of cars. As an additional treat we were able to make it to the PaPa Do Run Run concert Friday night. An awesome band playing the "oldies".
What's with the name?
"Kool April Nites" or "Cool April Nights"???
No, that's not a typo! To keep us guessing the official name is "Kool April Nites".
Besides, I think the spelling is "kool", don't you?

What you'll See
Kool April Nites attracts a wide variety of automotive enthusiasts.
Friday Night Cruse
The Friday night cruse is generally dominated by vehicles that still frequent the road, with a smaller number of cars that look like they pretty much only see daylight for the shows.
Many of the vehicles have been driven to Redding from many of the states surrounding California. Muscle cars, classic cars, roadsters, and newer modifieds provide most of the show as they drive around Redding. Mixed in you will find a few of the antiques like the model T.
Saturday Show
Parked around the Redding Civic, you will find most of the cars from the cruse as well as a large number of beautifully restored cars that only come out for the shows. The inside of the Redding Civic is turned into a Showroom for a select group of the cars.

- I saw the link to your lens in the Get Ratings, Give Ratings! and I find it to be quite interesting. There's a lot of good information to weed through and it's really well written. I gave you a 5 star rating and I'm hoping you can find the time to visit my lens MacDatingSite.
