Cruisin’ Nocona a big success
Sunny skies and warm weather welcomed visitors to Nocona for the fourth annual Cruisin’ Nocona and Vicari Auction.
“The weather was great, the cruise was good and everyone had a great time,” reported Nocona Chamber Executive Director Randy Duckworth.
Nell Ann McBroom, Nocona Chamber of Commerce staff, said 80 cars joined the cruise on Thursday, which included two loops and totaled 121 miles.
Stacie Harmon, marketing contact for Vicari Auction, said the auction had around 55 percent of the cars sold, with 300 cars offered at the sale.
Duckworth reported almost 90 cars participated in the First Annual Nocona Gas Junkies Car Show, with the Best of Show Award going to Danny Pruitt for his 1966 Chevrolet pickup.
