The Outlaw Cruisers Car Club will hold its 5^th Annual Car, Truck and Bike Show May 30 to raise funds for United Way of Franklin County and other area non-profits.

The show will take place from 1-4 p.m. in downtown Rocky Mount; the rain date is June 6. Members will display their vehicles but not compete for trophies. Registration is open to any interested vehicle owner and will be accepted the day of the show. The entry fee is $15, with all participants receiving trophies. In addition trophies will be awarded for Best in Show, People’s Choice, Club Choice and other divisions and categories.

The event will feature prizes, food vendors, a bake sale, and music for the spectators as well. The club’s president, Danny Sink, explained that the Cruisers are a family oriented club with approximately 50 members, all of whom are car enthusiasts. The majority own and show vehicles considered classics, but Danny said some members boasted other unusual rides. When the weather cooperates, he said members sometimes gather for a ride to the Parkway or for other activities. They also help other clubs with their shows and events.

The fundraiser show is one way the group has found to give something back to the community.

“We don’t do this for profit. We’d rather know that the funds are going to help in areas where they’re needed most,” he said.
