CITY’S FINAL CAR CRUISE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 FREE FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENT AT MARKET SQUARE 
 
WOONSOCKET, RI: The City of Woonsocket will hold its final Summer Classic Car Cruise event on Monday, September 9, 2019 offering the public a family-friendly event at Market Square paired with opportunities to view an array of museum quality vehicles and even donate unwanted bras to help the Athena’s Cup charitable entity secure the Guinness World Record for ‘Longest Bra Chain’ this fall. 
 
“As the City readies to host its fourth and final Summer Classic Car Cruise event offering food trucks, an oldies DJ, a wide variety of children’s activities and many stunning classic cars, Athena’s Cup is nearing the last lap of this highly anticipated race,” said Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt.  “Let’s put the metal to the pedal during the upcoming Car Cruise event and get Woonsocket’s own Jennifer Jolicoeur the remaining number of the almost 5,000 bras she needs for Athena’s Cup to successfully bring the Guinness World Record home from Australia.” 
 
Athena’s Cup collected 109 bra donations during the Cruise event the City held on August 26 and received an equal number of post-event donations were hand delivered to its Winter Street headquarters.  
 
Athena’s Cup will again collect bra donations while stationed adjacent to the classic 1958 silver Cadillac Coupe that Ms. Jolicoeur’s “Pepere” regularly drove before he had decided to retire it from the road. 
 
“This exciting bid for the Guinness World Record has brought Woonsocket it’s very own Indianapolis 500 race of sorts,” said Mayor Baldelli-Hunt.  
 
The City of Woonsocket Summer Classic Car Cruise event is scheduled from 4:30 p.m. until dark.  In the case of rain, the free event will be held the following Monday.  Each of the City’s municipal parking lots offer free parking.
