"Old Dixie Highway Car Show"~East Ridge Education Committee

It was like night and day. Saturday had been cold and cloudy, and Sunday was just the opposite, warm and sunny. What a day for a car show!

From an ebony Model T to a classic 1959 Impala to a few sleek Corvettes, the 3rd Annual "Old Dixie Highway Car Show" turned out to be a success on Sunday, Oct. 23. The event raises awareness and funds for the East Ridge Education Committee (EREC), an organization dedicated to raising the bar for schools in East Ridge.

There were a lot of EREC volunteers at the event, and I probably won't get all their names, but here are a few: Susan Jones, Mack Newman, Rev. Billy Dean, and Robert Wilson. Gail Phillips, president of EREC, asked me to fill in as MC for the door prizes. My cheerful son Jackson helped out. My beautiful wife Dinah was with us too. Here are some other images from the event:
