Organized through the tireless efforts of DJ
and promoter, Paul Rippy, the inaugural South-port ‘Vest A Cop’ car show was held Saturday,October 12 in the parking lot behind Renais-sance Electronic Services and next to the newSouthport Police Department administrationbuilding in Southport.Sunny skies helped attract a great turn-out of104 classic, restored and customized automo-biles, trucks, hot-rods and motorcycles.The event, free to the public, had softdrinks, hotdogs, and event shirts available. Allproceeds were donated to the Southport PoliceDepartment to purchase new ballistic vests (Federal Law mandates that all police ballisticvests must be upgraded every 3-years) for the force of more than 50
officers. Southport businesses generously stepped-up with donations and contributions totalling over $8,000 prior to the start of the event.There were 12-judged categories, Top-20 awards, Overall Best Of Show along with dash-plaques awarded to the first 100 entrants.

Wall 
plaques were awarded to the Top 20 winners, while both wall plaques and banners were awarded to category winners.

Special thanks to the Judges:
 Tim Walker, Glenn DavidHollandworth,Tony Nelis and Mark Timbs for taking the time to
meticulously and fairly judge each and every entrant. It was a diffcult
task considering the number and quality of all the cars, trucks hot-rods and motorcycles.

​The arrival of fall and October means that the summer-long Cruse-ins, sponsored by The Southsider Voice, came to an end for 2019 on October 4 in the parking lot of of Beck’s Service Center on the Southside.

Sunny skies with pleasant temperatures made for a perfect evening with a festive crowd on hand that admired over 65 classic, restored and custom-built cars, trucks and motorcycles on display.

The Cruise-Ins are a Southside summer tradition held on the first Friday of each month from May through October. Each Cruise-In features free food and water. The recent Cruise-In featured homemade chicken-and-noodles, green beens and bacon, pizza and chocolate-chip cookies.

The six Cruise-Ins this year set all kinds of records, including a single-event record of participants with their variety vehicles and attendees from throughout the area.

The Southsider Voice fully appreciates everyone who contributed, participated and attended the Cruise-Ins for an unforgettable summer of fun and fellowship, too.
​
It will be six months before the 2020 Cruise-Ins begin, but plans already are underway to make the coming season another record-breaker. So, be sure to mark your calendars for Friday, May 1, 2020, at 6 p.m. and be ready for more fun-filled Cruise-Ins.
