ELIZABETHTON â The pandemic has ruined a lot traditional events this year, from sporting events to Easter celebrations and from high school graduations to trick or treating. But COVID-19 did not spoil the annual contributions the Carter County Car Club makes to childrenâs charities every Christmas.
The car club raises the money it gives to the charities by accepting donations at the weekly cruise-ins it hosts in downtown Elizabethton every Saturday evening during the warm months of the year and from its annual car show in July. Club President Eddie Brumitt said it did not look like the club would be able to raise very much money this year because the pandemic forced the cancellation of the first two months of cruise-ins.
