The 33rd annual Southern Cruisers Spring Classic Car Show will help provide funds for two local children suffering serious health challenges.

The car show set for Saturday, March 22, at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds brings participants from all across the region to display their cars, trucks, motorcycles and tractors, whether they are restored classics or customized newer models. 

The nonprofit organization's charity show raises money each year for families with significant medical issues, and this year, Sydney Walker of Twin City and Amdyn "Scottie" Aldrich of Statesboro will be the beneficiaries of donations.

Four-year-old Sydney was diagnosed recently with leukemia, while Scottie is coping with a congenital heart defect called Truncus Arteriosus. Eight-week-old Scottie had two open heart surgeries within seven days after being born and she will require more surgery in the near future.

More than 200 vehicles are expected at the March 22 show. The event begins with registration for participants at 8 a.m., and judging will be from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Door prizes will be awarded from 1-3 p.m. and awards are at 3 p.m., with admission at $5 per person. Children under 12, military families with identification and handicapped visitors are admitted free.

There will be awards given to the top 40 entries, dash plaques and specialty trophies. A Car Corral will feature vehicles for sale, and visitors will enjoy a silent raffle 50/50 cash drawing, concessions and more.

Because music will be aired, no personal music is allowed at the family-oriented event.

The registration fee for entries is $25. To include a car or truck for sale in the Car Corral will be $10. The cost for vendors, including the Swap Meet, is $50 per booth. Call (912) 764-3523 or (912) 541-0428 to reserve a space.

Southern Cruiser members will have their cars on display but will not be included in judging.
