Last year more than 330 unique vehicles cruised into the area behind Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy Store in Newcastle for the Tri-City Cruisers Annual Open Car Show.
This year the event begins at the same location, the south side of State Highway 37 and Tri-City Drive which is more specifically known as 414 N.W. 32nd Street, with registration from 8-11 a.m. and judging from 11 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 27. A rain date of May 4 has been planned just in case.
The public is encouraged to attend and take part in voting for crowd favorite Tri-City Cruisers President David Gayanich says all the proceeds made from the car show will be used to support community needs. Registration for participating vehicles is $30. All paid entries before 11 a.m. receive their car’s picture participant plaque.
Forms to register can be found on the Tri-City Cruisers’ page on Facebook.
Top 10 trophies will be given in the form of specialty handcrafted trophies and sponsor trophies. Club participation is encouraged and there will be door prizes, a 50/50 drawing, kids’ activities, an NSRA safety inspector, and a disc jockey.
Gayanich said the hosting club’s cars are ineligible for this show.
The Tri-City Cruisers is an active car club in the Blanchard, Newcastle, and Tuttle areas. Members enjoy a common interest in muscle cars, original and modified cars and trucks of all makes and years. Club activities include monthly meetings, cruise-ins and dinner drives.
Past donations to the Tri-City Cruisers have been donated to those impacted by the Moore tornado, local residents whose homes had burned, and to local residents with health issues.
The club also has provided scholarships in the past that can be used for the tuition of vo-tech automotive program students.
