WHAT:          The 2nd annual EVs for EVV will again be an Electric Vehicle cruise-in coupled with test rides-and-drives for metro Evansville, but this time located in a 10-acre park-like setting. Hosted by the nonprofit Tri-State Creation Care, the event will include test drives of at least 10 new EVs from local auto dealers, local celebrity drivers, 5 food trucks, the acoustic string band Sassafras and the classic rock band Panacea, interesting vendors, kids’ activities (inflatable bouncy house, hula hoop contests, musical chairs, limbo dance competition, jump-the-rope contests, bubble-blowing, etc.), and robotics demonstrations by teams from New Tech Institute (2023 state champion robotic team) and North High School.  And be sure to take a stroll through the adjacent Master Gardeners’ display garden.  Wholesome entertainment for the entire family! Local auto dealers are promising to bring a Ford Lightning truck, BMWs, Mercedes, Mustangs, and more EVs for test drives, which are open to adults, who must show their driver's license.  E-bikes, e-carts, and electric/battery-operated lawn & garden equipment will also be on-site.

WHEN:          Sat., Sept. 23, 2023.  Free and open to the public from 10:00am – 2:00pm Central Time.

WHERE:       Eykamp Scout Center, 3501 E. Lloyd Expressway, Evansville, IN  47715                                                                            

WHO:            Every one of all ages is welcome, although test drives of the EVs will be limited to adults, who must show their driver's license.  (Owner-operators of EVs are encouraged to bring their vehicles for the cruise-in portion of this event.  They can choose whether they want their vehicle to participate at one of three levels:  display-only, ride-alongs permitted, test-driving permitted.)            

COST:           There is no charge for attendees, although a $10 donation to Tri-State Creation Care would be appreciated for any EV test drives or ride-alongs taken.
