Car enthusiasts are turning out in large numbers this week to the various Kool April Nites events. There are at least ten official show and shine events Monday and many more to follow over the coming week. Enterprise Starship will perform Monday night at the Civic Auditorium. The Kool April Cruise is Friday night on Hilltop, Dana and Churn Creek in East Redding. At the request of Hilltop hotels and restaurants, the city council approved a one night entertainment zone declaration only for Hilltop Drive and only during the cruise. Spectators can have open containers of alcohol in special cups from designated businesses. The main Kool April Nites event is at the Civic Auditorium on Saturday with more than 2000 show cars and other events. Lots of information, including an interactive digital magazine, can be found at koolaprilnites.com.
