There were 47 cars entered in the Hillyard Car Hop Saturday and all together the Historic Hillyard Merchants Committee made about $340.
It's the first time the HHMC has put on the event and some expenses (banners and such) are one-time expenses.
Closing off Market Street for the parade and getting things done in a timely manner was not a problem.
Over all, the businesses were busy - the Outlaw Cafe sold out of food - and the event was a success.

The next big Hillyard event is the Chalk Art Walk, which takes place on June 18 begining at 10 a.m. It's free. Register on the day. The first 100 artists get a free t-shirt. This year's theme is "Getting There" - by car, food, horse or space shuttle or whatever you can come up with - get the creative juices flowing. June 18 is also the day of the next Hillyard Community yard sale.
