Albany Relay For Life Car Show
A few of the Cumberland River Cruisers attended the Albany Relay For
Life Car Show on Sunday. The rainy weather had caused the event to not
be held on Saturday and the turnout was lower because of the show being
on Sunday. They made the best of a bad situation and still had a fairly
good showing.
Two
CRC Club Members, Craig Coe and Jackie Booher, won trophies for their
respective entries.

April 28th CRC Meeting
The CRC members spent most of the monthly meeting preparing for the car
show on Saturday. We numbered over 30 door prizes and even had to rework
two of the trophies. After the replacement of two of the items on the
two largest trophies, they were ready for presentation.

NAPA - CRC 2011 Spring Car Show & Swap Meet
This weekend, April 30th was the NAPA-Cumberland River Cruisers Spring
Car Show and Swap Meet at the Park in Burkesville, KY. The Swap Meet
opened it's doors at 7 AM and individuals could sell their car related
items for a $10 Setup Fee. The 2011 Spring Car Show began registering
cars a little before 10 AM.![]()
There
were booths selling food for breakfast and later in the day another
group was selling hotdogs, chips and drinks.![]()
There
was NO ENTRY FEE and Free Dash Plaques were given to the first 100
vehicles registered.![]()
There
were 120 vehicles that registered and about 30 others that chose not to
register and didn't want to be voted on for the trophies. Anybody that
attended the event was able to vote for their top 3 choices for Best Of
Show.

Voting
ended at 3 PM and those ballots were collected and tabulated. The
Generations band began playing music at 3 PM. When Generations took
their break, the Cruisers took over and there were drawings for several
nice door prizes and then the Top 20 vehicles were announced and their
owners presented trophies.

There
was a Long Distance Trophy awarded to a family that drove down from
Evansville, IN the day of the show.![]()
The
Best Of Show Trophy was then presented. Finally, half of the 50/50 Prize
Money was given away. Generations resumed playing and the club members
began packing up our stuff. We had very little trash to pick up as the
attendees of the event had really kept the park clean.
The
Cumberland River Cruisers would like to thank NAPA and especially Robert
Hay for the support and sponsorship of the Spring 2011 Car Show and Swap
Meet. We hope we can work together in the future and the event will grow
even larger to bring more people into Burkesville.
The Cruisers would
also like to thank the Burkesville/Cumberland County Events Committee
for their sponsorship of the music for our event and thanks to Citizen’s
Bank and James Long for the use of the stage.
Thanks to WKYR Radio
for promoting the event.
We want to thank First Place Trophies of
Albany for the nice trophies they put together for our show and for
donating the Long Distance Trophy and the Best of Show Trophy.
Our
club also wishes to thank the various merchants in town that have
donated merchandise and money to help provide the door prizes that were
presented to those participating in the car show.
Thanks to the
Cumberland River Cruiser club members that helped with the logistics of
running the event.
Thanks to everyone for attending and making it the largest
car show or cruise-in ever in Burkesville, KY!
The
Cruisers hope everyone enjoyed the event and will participate to make
the next one even better.
