Cardboard Cruise-in at V.O. Dobbins Sr Complex

A fun, free family event is coming to the V.O. Dobbins, Sr., Complex later this month – a frantic game for the young to enjoy and a creative activity the older generation will appreciate.

Kingsport Parks and Recreation is hosting a Cardboard Cruise-In and Four Square Competition on April 29, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at V.O. Dobbins (301 Louis Street). The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.

Cruising brings back fond memories for many folks. Slowly driving your freshly washed car or truck down the street or by the lake is a simple pleasure for many adults.

The Cardboard Cruise In calls for participants to design their own cardboard vehicle using provided boxes and supplies to create the perfect hot rod, muscle car or monster truck. Feel free to bring your own art supplies or a cardboard ride you’ve already designed and decorated.

If you’re the competitive type, then Four Square may be more to your liking. Four Square is a fast-paced, four-player game popular among school-aged children. Participants play on a square court, each in one quarter of the court and bounce a ball between each other until someone makes an error and is eliminated.

The Four Square Competition will have divisions for both kids and adults.
