A 50/50 raffle will be held during the Cruise-In to benefit the Friendship Animal Protective League in memory and deep respect for Ken Moore, a prior DEI employee who lost his battle with cancer in February.

The DEI Cruise-In will include music provided by Its Show Time D.J. services, great barbeque with all the fixin’s can be purchased from Jones Bones BBQ, raffles, DEI T-shirts and hats will be for sale and a scratch and dent sale area will be open.
