Letter to the Editor: Thanks to all who were part of car show

Dear editor,

The members of the Cotton Flat Cruisers Car Club want to thank the following for being one of our sponsors for our annual Fourth of July car show:

  • Abstract & Appraisal Services
  • Alabama Gun & Pawn
  • AL’s Lawn Service
  • Auto Depot
  • BamaClean
  • Bank Independent
  • Barry Moore
  • CB&S Bank
  • Chris Wallace Construction Services
  • Community Spirit Bank
  • Detail Supply
  • Eddie’s Collision Repair
  • Family Pharmacy Group
  • First Metro Bank
  • Frosty Inn
  • Hoyt Lane & Son Plumbing
  • Mayor David Grissom
  • Mike & Sherry Madden
  • Murray’s Tire & Alignment
  • Pinkard Funeral Home
  • Russellville Electric Board
  • Russellville Water Works & Sewer Board
  • SSWA Recycling
  • Spry Memorial Chapel
  • Valley State Bank
  • Wayne’s Catfish Haven
  • Wood-Thompson Insurance
  • Yogi’s Foodco

Without you and many others in the community, we would not have had the success that we’ve had over the past several years.

This year we had 137 vehicles at the show, and we were able to give away $2,200 in prize money to those with registered vehicles.

Most of the profit from our shows ends up going back into local charities and educational activities.

Thanks again for your generosity and your continued support.

Sincerely,

Gary Hester

Vice president
