First Friday Main Line Cancelled

All First Friday Main Line outdoor events, including the eagerly anticipated "CARtastic Car Event" have been cancelled due to the rain, FFML executive director Sherry Tillman confirmed in an email Friday morning.

On Thursday, Tillman explained to Patch that because the classic car show was slated to run this month, any amount of precipitation would be grounds for cancellation. Turns out we got more than enough.

"Antique cars, classic cars, and sports cars will not come out in the rain." she said. "Period."

First Friday isn't the only local event being affected by the weather. Narberth's NarBark Dog Parade, originally scheduled for Friday, has been moved back a week.

While all outdoor events are off, Tillman emphasized the art will remain in the venues. June's artist/venue pairings include:

• Averil Barone at Armen Chevrolet
• Sherry McVickar at Jack McSheas Public House
• Three Wheel Studio at Past*Present*Future
• Jermaine Grimes at Viva Video

Last year's "CARtastic Car Event" was rained out as well, Tillman said. And though she scheduled a rain date for the following day, only three of the cars could make it.

Tillman said there's a chance she can push the car show to September, coupling it with the blues theme.
