5th Annual St. Judes Car Show

Mike has to be picked up from work at 2:00pm every Saturday when his shift ends. This particular Saturday Afternoon, April 22, Michael, Wanda, Scott, and home-coordinator Joe left Jacob’s Village early enough to attend the Fifth Annual Cruise-in Car Show benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This Car Show was being held at the West-side Shopping Plaza, located at Mt. Vernon and Sonntag avenues. Sponge Bob Square-Pants and Shrek were there to greet all who attended the event including the Jacob’s Village bunch. The two characters shook our hands and added flavor to the show. Also, the El Charro Mexican Restaurant was offering samples of cheese flavored ‘Pork Rinds’ to entice on-lookers to purchase a larger quantity of the tasty snacks. At these car shows, as always, they have plenty of nice looking vintage classic cars and a few novelty ones. These cars have been customized especially to show, for instance, a ’56 Pink Cadillac with a Pink Panther theme, and a ’58 Thunderbird convertible with Elvis Presley themed paraphernalia, and many others. Some of our favorite ones to look at are the Plymouth and Dodge powered ‘Muscle Cars’ from the ‘60’s and ‘70’s such as: Roadrunners, Challengers, Chargers, Dusters, and Barracudas. With ‘Pork Rinds’ in hand everyone left the car show satisfied and a good time was had by all.
