HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Downtown Hutchinson Rod Run is back. Jim Gruver notes that the event is well-established.
"It really was an effort to familiarize people with downtown Hutch," Gruver said. "That was the main premise of the whole thing and in 2008, we got that started."
The fun in the car show is talking to the people who bring their pride and joy down to Main Street.
"Everybody has a story," Gruver said. "They want to talk about how they got their car and what they've done to it. That's what makes the whole thing a fun, fun time."
