From Baby to Graduate
does the Rhody Car Cruisers.
This event is put on by a
small local car club called the
Beachkombers Car Club.
“Again this year, we hope to
have impressive military units,”
said Jeannette Scalera, one of
the main members who has
been putting this show on for
more than 20 years. “These mil-
itary guys enjoy a friendly com-
petition within their ranks and
it’s fun to see who brings out the
big guns — so to speak.”
This central location has been
the favorite place to host this
show.
“We want to thank the busi-
nesses who donate this space at
the expense of their Saturday
business,” Scalera said.
Grocery Outlet has been a
big sponsor in the past and pro-
vides vender booths to different
charities and organizations.
City Lights Cinemas has
adjusted its programming that
day to accommodate everyone.
It will have the lobby open to
foot traffic so anyone who has-
n’t looked inside can see what’s
playing and enjoy not only
movies, but independent films
and more.
In addition, located in the
same shopping center is the
Habitat for Humanity Surplus
Store, where you can find
many items for home improve-
ment projects while supporting
Habitat for Humanity in
Florence.
