SIDNEY — It has been said that Tawawa Park is to Sidney what Central Park is to New York City: its crown jewel.
The local gem of a park will sparkle as it celebrates its 7th Cruise-In from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. next Saturday, June 29. Activities for children will also be available at the event, which is organized by the Shelby County Historical Society and The Window Guy and Company.
Some 40 craft and food vendors, a cruise-in, music and free rides in a vintage Model T Ford are all on tap. Admission is free.

Local businesses have donated items for the goody bags and door prizes that have been donated by local and regional locations such as the Sidney Visitor’s Bureau, Detailed Machining, Landings of Sidney, Hits 105.5-WMVR, the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Vendors will offer mugs, t-shirts, jewelry, paintings, candles, textiles, bows, candies, hats, greenery, tea, bicycles and more for sale.
