To keep everyone fueled up, Sweet Sips, Flipping Hibachi, Salt and Sand BBQ, and Pure Acai Bowls served up local favorites throughout the event. Pure Acai Bowl Owner Sara Pasqualone said, “Cruisin’ the Coast is a great event! It’s fun to meet new people from all different places and it helps our business because it brings more recognition to us. We get to meet people, it spreads the word, and it helps a lot of the cruisers keep things local.”
