Hi Riverscene Magazine. This is Doug Rich from the monthly Cars and Coffee event up at the mall. You have incorrectly listed my event as there is no event for the month of January 2017. Our next event is February 5th at the Mall from 7-10 am.
The event is the first Sunday of each month, same times.
Happy New Year to everybody!
Hi Doug,
Thank you for correcting us. I have updated the information about your event on this page.
