Good News: Cruise for Consciousness rolls into Grain Valley Sunday

​     The Purple Peace Foundation's "Cruise for Consciousness" Car Show returns to Grain Valley this Sunday, August 7, 2022 from 11:00am - 3:00pm at Armstrong Park. The annual event raises funds for the educational and support programs the Purple Peace Foundation provides for families impacted by epilepsy.
     Started in 2015, the "Cruise for Consciousness" Car Show has grown to host approximately 300 cars, a silent auction, raffles, and plenty of concession options. As organizer Stacey Perry explained, "It is a day of cool cars, great food, and lots of fun all in the name of spreading awareness about epilepsy."
     Perry's inspiration for starting the event were the memories of spending many hours at car shows as a kid with her dad.
     "It is our biggest fundraising event of the year. And all that aside, through the years, I have gotten to spend countless hours with my dad, passing out flyers, running errands, eating $1.50 hot dog lunches at Costco.. These years of working on the Cruise for Consciousness together have been some of my best memories I will ever have with my dad. He is the key to this whole show."
