CRESTVIEW — Attendees seeking a convenient parking spot will have to come early, but their reward will be one of fewer than 20 prized downtown spots just steps from the heart of the event.
The First Presbyterian Church of Crestview’s American Cancer Society Relay for Life team will offer parking in the church’s lot, between Courthouse Terrace and Beech Avenue, for $5 per car.
“In the past, people have just come in and used our parking lot,” pastor the Rev. Mark Broadhead said. “We thought, why not have them kick in for a worthy cause?”
The lot will be blocked off the night before the March 19 event “to allow for a fresh start the morning of the Triple B,” Broadhead said.
Parking attendants will be on duty beginning at 9 a.m., and spots will be available first-come, first-parked. Oversized vehicles or vehicles with trailers requiring two spots will be charged for each spot occupied. No re-entry will be allowed.
“Relay for Life is a worthy event,” Broadhead said. “This is one way for us to support the cause.”
