Cruisin' The Coast left the past 17 years in the dust with record-setting numbers in 2014. 7,293 cruisers registered for this year's event, eclipsing last year's record number of 7,042. In 1996, only 374 registered. Cities along the Gulf Coast held events throughout the weeklong block party. "It's a testament to each city," said George Lawrence, Biloxi Councilman. "Entertaining that many people for seven days is something everyone should be extremely proud of." Sunday at Cruisin' Central, gears shifted towards preparing for next year's event--set to be bigger and better than ever. While a 1932 Ford High Boy was raffled, the line was already growing for early registration for 2015. "I know I'm going to be back so I already signed up," said Louisiana resident Kevin Stanton. "Countdown to next year begins now." The raffle raised $25,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. A family from Texas on the way to fulfill their child's wish in Disney World even stopped by for the event. "We heard about Cruisin' and what they do for Make-A-Wish so we wanted to stop by," said the boy's mother. The child cannot speak, but in front of thousands of cruisers he stood on stage and signed a simple phrase that the entire Gulf Coast can agree with.

Ducky told the cruisers "Thank you."
