The Street Masters Car Club in Pierre has found a way to have fun and enjoy the outdoors with family and friends, while still social distancing. This month, club members gathered at the state’s capital on both sides of the river for an hour-long cruise around town called ‘Pop Up Cruse.’
“The car culture in South Dakota is very strong, and we’re close knit – we say we’re a family,” said Street Masters Car Club President Patrick Callahan about the various car shows that the Mt. Rushmore state holds in the summer months.
“We’re seeing these car shows have to be canceled this summer because of COVID, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get out and cruise. You’re going to see a lot of these cruises, whether are called a pop-up cruise or a community drive. It’s just the car culture saying ‘we can still do something.”
These ‘pop-up cruises’ are another example of communities coming together, while at the same time, social distancing.
