| Hazelwood Baptist Church's 11th Annual Car Show June 19th, 2010 |
| Another hot day at the Hazelwood Baptist Church's Car Show. I've been to a lot of car shows but this one takes the title of a "Class Act" !! The group of organizers really have it together. This year, another 300 + cars, trucks, motorcycles and special interests were in attendance. This church welcomes all car owners to enter with NO entry fee plus offers you lunch, drinks, and dinner after the show is over at no cost. Parking was no problem for spectators and even had shuttles for those who parked in nearby school lots. Volunteers were walking around handing out free soda and water to those who needed to quench their thurst. There was two stages of music offered at all times. One stage was in the backside of the church and the main stage was in the front. All the bands were excellent and provided a variety of music. In fact, on the Rock Stage, I saw ELVIS singing some of his most popular recordings. Their was 50's and 60's rock, Christian rock, Classic Country, Gospel, Bluegrass and contemporary music during the whole show. The American Red Cross was also there for a blood drive which they were kept busy all day until 2:00 pm. You could see the smoke from the food court, tents to provide shade and many handouts to the public from Auto Zone and Ferguson Roofing. As I mentioned earlier, at 5:30 pm was the car show owner's dinner and award ceremony that earned the votes from the general public. I am not able to report more on the dinner/awards, due to a storm was heading our way with possible hail reported by our local forecasters. With an open car, I decided it was time to leave this GREAT car show and head for home. A round of applauses to all the workers, volunteers, Hazelwood Baptist Church, Pastor Jim and Mr. Dan Hering who organized this event. |
