coincide with that day鈥檚 Long Beach activities at Cruisin鈥� the Coast. The party starts
at 3 p.m. and wraps at 5 p.m. so participants can attend the Long Beach concert sponsored
by Cruisin鈥� the Coast.
鈥淭his is our second year hosting the event, and it will be bigger and better,鈥� said Dr. Bradley (Brad) Winton, who is coordinating the event, 鈥淲e鈥檝e got two local car clubs participating, and we鈥檙e closing some of the campus roads so they can display their cars. We will have tents, music, games, drinks, and snacks 鈥� and maybe the best vantage point on the Coast to watch all those beautiful cars pass by.鈥�
The event is open to everyone 鈥� Southern Miss students, employees, residents, cruisers 鈥� 鈥淭he more the merrier,鈥� said Winton.
People bringing antique cars or hot rods may park on Avenue of the Oaks, which winds across the front of the campus, or the Lloyd Hall lawn. Parking for non-antique cars will be provided in the Lloyd Hall parking lot (the first lot when driving north on Beach Park Place).
Dr. Heather Annulis, Director of the School of Leadership, emphasizes the importance of this event. 鈥淐ruisin鈥� the Coast is the largest event of its type in the South,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great economic generator for the region and a chance for us to show off our beautiful campus.
