To the editor:

Another season of the JaMar — Fort Dodge Ford Toyota Cruise Night tradition in Fort Dodge is over. This year we honored our hero of the cruise, Dr. Terry Moehke, and his dedication to Veterans Memorial Park. What a beautiful setting to honor and pay tribute to all those that have served. Speaking of veterans, also this year, we partnered with American Legion Post 130 Fort Dodge to help bring awareness to the many benefits they provide our veterans in central Iowa and the region.

To all our cruisers, thank you for joining us on the first Friday of June, July and August. It’s all about cars, trucks, motorcycles, community and family fun. The turnout for our final cruise on Aug. 1 was incredible. Mojo was spinning music while attendees waved American flags. There was great food from Feedshed Catering, Dariette Ice Cream and a new vendor this year, Chick-fil-A.

We look forward to 2026 on the first Friday of June, July and August to continue the family tradition. Thank you everyone and drive safely.

Casey, Deb, Matt and Abigail Johnson
