A cruise, organized by Jessica Schipper after gaining traction in the Lake Mills IA Community Connection Facebook group, took place Saturday throughout Lake Mills. - Lory Groe/For the Albert Lea Tribune

Schipper said the cruise was meant as a way for people to get out, have some fun and see others while staying safe within social distancing guidelines. - Lory Groe/For the Albert Lea Tribune

Plenty of pets made appearances during the two-hour cruise, which started at the Lake Mills fire hall, passed the school and then turned around by the pool to go back to the fire hall in a large loop. - Lory Groe/For the Albert Lea Tribune

While there isn't an official total count of participants, Schipper said at least 60 people had signed up on the Facebook group event to attend. - Lory Groe/For the Albert Lea Tribune
