Solar car extravaganza

☀️ SOLAR CARS ARE COMING TO VINITA! ☀️ Mark your calendars, Route 66 fans — this Thursday, July 30th between 10:30–11:00 AM, we're rolling out the red carpet (well, the yellow center line) for the American Solar Challenge as it zips through our historic downtown! These sun-powered speed machines have already traveled over 1,000 miles from Minneapolis, MN, chasing the finish line in Amarillo, TX — and Vinita is part of their route down the Mother Road! 🚗💨 Even better — alumni from Principia College will be set up in front of the Center Theater on 66, and they want YOU to join them! Bring the kids, bring lawn chairs, bring your best cheering voice, and come wave these teams through town as they race across the country on nothing but sunshine. 👶👧🧑👵 All ages welcome — this is the kind of only-in-Vinita moment that makes Route 66 magic real. 📍 Where: Downtown Vinita, in front of Center Theater on Route 66 🕥 When: Thursday, July 30th, 10:30–11:00 AM ☀️ What: Cheer on solar-powered race cars from teams across the US, Canada, Belgium & the Netherlands! See you on the Mother Road! 🛣️✨ #VinitaMainStreet #Route66 #SolarChallenge #OklahomaMainStreet #SmallTownBigHeart
