A Celebration of Restoration and Resilience

On Saturday, March 22, the vibrant world of classic cars converges at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds for an event that combines automotive admiration with charitable giving. This year’s edition of the Southern Cruisers Spring Classic Car Show has been meticulously planned to provide financial assistance to two local families grappling with significant health challenges. The nonprofit organization behind the show continues its legacy of aiding those facing overwhelming medical expenses by selecting Sydney Walker and Amdyn “Scottie” Aldrich as beneficiaries.Sydney, a spirited four-year-old from Twin City, was recently diagnosed with leukemia, a condition demanding extensive treatment and unwavering support. Meanwhile, Scottie, an eight-week-old infant from Statesboro, battles Truncus Arteriosus, a congenital heart defect requiring multiple surgeries since birth. Her journey includes undergoing two open-heart procedures within seven days of entering the world, with additional interventions on the horizon. These young warriors exemplify resilience, inspiring countless others through their courage.

An Anticipated Showcase of Automotive Marvels

The car show anticipates more than 200 entries spanning various categories, including restored classics, customized modern models, motorcycles, and even tractors. Participants will arrive from across the region, eager to display their passion projects. Registration commences at 8 a.m., followed by judging sessions scheduled between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Door prizes will be distributed from 1-3 p.m., culminating in award ceremonies at 3 p.m. Admission costs $5 per person, though children under 12, military families with proper identification, and handicapped visitors gain free entry.This event offers something for everyone, ensuring both participants and spectators enjoy a memorable day. Awards will recognize the top 40 entries, alongside dash plaques and specialty trophies. Visitors can explore the Car Corral, where vehicles are available for purchase, engage in a silent raffle featuring a 50/50 cash drawing, and indulge in delectable concessions. To maintain a family-friendly atmosphere, organizers request attendees refrain from playing personal music during the event.
