Editor: Kudos to the dedicated volunteer team that worked hard for 20 years to create a super successful Langley Good Times Cruise-In — top 10 in all of North America.

The show in its present ideal and unique location of downtown Langley is enjoyed and celebrated by exhibitors, all of Langley’s residents, as well as visitors from coast to coast.

Langley might have been divided a long time ago – was it sadly over street lights?

Yet all of Langley volunteers and residents work, play, shop and celebrate together in the spirit of the community as a whole — without consideration of borders. Imagine.

We have lived 23 years in Brookswood and 19 years in the country, however, when asked where we live, we have always just said “Langley.”

I bet 99 per cent of residents do the same.

I hope and trust that both City and Township of Langley recognize that same spirit and working together will find a solution to keep the 20-year-old Cruise-In tradition alive in the present location.

Experience has shown that relocation of an event can be detrimental.

I am sure that you have the full support of your ever increasing taxpayer base, and most of all the charities that have been so generously supported by the Cruise-in.

Please make it happen. Together you can do it.

Christa Boecker,

Langley
