Sometimes an idea just grows legs and takes off, and a Brazil mans simple idea is growing by leaps and bounds as it runs into the future.
I have lived here all my life and love this town. To see so many people come together for these events has sure renewed that, said Eric Jensen, who posted the idea for the Cruising Brazil event on Facebook last summer. It started out last year hoping for 20 or so old classmates to show up in town to cruise around as we did back in the day, but I think it was the town that showed up, and that is incredible.

TOP STORY OF THE DAY, brought to you free by WICU: Car lovers will be Cruising Brazil twice this year

The popular Cruising Brazil will take place twice this year, both on May 1 and again in the fall.
Organizer Eric Jensen was pleased with the turnout last year for a Cruising Brazil event which took place in August.
He is hoping to build upon that success this year with two events one on May 1 and the other in the fall.
The rules are pretty easy to follow, and Jensen admits there really isnt anything special anyone needs to do besides show up at Forest Park on the day of the event between 5 and 7 p.m.
