Hoods and Hops, an annual fund raiser for the Broad Ripple Village Association (BRVA), was held this year at Broad Ripple Park instead of Opti-Park. It was also scheduled to coincide with the Broad Ripple Carnival at the park. The car show, organized by John Hill of the Broad Ripple Brewpub, took place on the north end of the park, by the river. There was lots of shade for the cars and onlookers.
