River Run car club reshapes Ottawa nostalgia night
Finch and the Over the Road Gang plan a family oriented River Run with a downtown Saturday night in Ottawa. Main Street will be closed from First to Fifth as shops stay open, a 1950s to 1970s music disc jockey and food entertain downtown crowds. The event, staged largely at Forest Park, aims to boost Ottawa’s economy and recapture the downtown charm.
