Cruisin' for Kids Car Show Prepares for Second Year

(HOGANSBURG, NY) - Cars and motorcycles of all ages, new and old, domestic and import will be on display at the second annual Cruisin’ for Kids Car and Bike Show 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 28th at the old IGA parking lot located across from the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino. The event is free; all donations and profit collected will benefit the Akwesasne Boys & Girls Club and the Akwesasne Freedom School. This event will include a ten dollar chicken BBQ, raffles, music and newly added this year will be local vendors.

Cars judged to be among the best ten will win prizes with awards such as Best Work in Progress, Best Paint, Swamp’s Choice and Best Engine. There are no class divisions and all entries are welcome. Registration for car and bike owners will begin at 10 a.m. The fee is six dollars.

A Power Wheels Show/Race will also be a source of entertainment for kids ages two through seven. Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service Community Service Officer Rob White will be coordinating the event. Children are invited to bring their own Power Wheels and show it off, but there will also be a couple cars provided for them to use. Prizes will be awarded to those showing off their hot wheels.

“Last year we held the show in April and raised five hundred dollars for each group, this year we hope to double that amount with the warmer weather and new location,” said Marissa Vickers, event coordinator. “We’ve added vendors and more entertainment for the kids; it’s really going to be a good time for the whole family.”

Swamp’s Performance Automotive is still looking for vendors. Booth rental will be ten dollars per vendor and all proceeds will go back to the two charities. Contact Marissa at
