Cruise Night rolls into Tilton to celebrate veterans

TILTON — The New Hampshire Veterans Home will host a cruise into summer with an evening of cars, camaraderie, and celebration at its annual Cruise Night, held on Thursday, Aug. 7, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 139 Winter St.

Vehicle registration will run 5-6 p.m. There’s no entry fee and no cost for admission — though donations to support the Home’s Resident Benefit Fund are accepted.

Entertainment will be provided by the Bel Airs, offering a nostalgic soundtrack perfect for a night of chrome and cruising.

There will be a cookout fundraiser featuring grilled favorites like hamburgers and hotdogs, plus chips, brownies, cookies, novelty ice cream, and soda — to raise funds in support of New Hampshire’s veterans.

Additional highlights include a 50-50 drawing and prizes for fun categories, like: Most likely to get a ticket, most memorable, veterans choice, best in show and owner’s choice.

“This event is all about honoring our veterans and bringing the community together in a fun, meaningful way,” said NHVH Commandant Kim MacKay. “Everyone’s welcome at this family event - whether you’re showcasing a car, visiting with a veteran, enjoying the cookout, or just soaking in the good vibes.”
