Red Oak Certified Reserve Police Officer Brad Baker says there will be a “Hero Cruise Night” in Red Oak, on July 11th, in coordination with Paul Baucom on the Red Oak Cruise Night.  The invite has also been extended to: The Montgomery County Memorial Hospital, Red Oak Rehab, the Good Samaritan Society, Arlington Place employees, local Fire/EMS, Dispatchers, Jailers, Police and Sheriff’s Officials, along with the Southwest Iowa Squadron of Heroes, to do a reverse parade.

Those Heroes will be lined up at 6:30-p.m. on the South side of the Red Oak High School, with the cruise coming through shortly afterward.  Cruisers can line up at Chautauqua Park and follow cruisers on the route beginning at 6:30-p.m, or do the route themselves.  As the vehicles come through the High School, everyone will be socially distanced. Those in their vehicles are being asked to stay in those vehicles, and to simply honk and wave.

Baker said the Hero Cruise Night is designed to show support for local first line workers for their efforts over the past few months, and always.  Questions or comments may be relayed to ROPD Chief Justin Rhamy, at 712-623-6500.
