ELIZABETHTON â The Carter County Car Club will be hosting its annual Car Show in downtown Elizabethton this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Club President Eddie Brumitt said this will mark the 16th straight year the event has been held in downtown after a two-year run at the Borla Performance Company in south Johnson City.
âThis is our yearly fundraiser to support our childrenâs charities,â Brumitt said. He said last year the club raised $21,990. That was all donated to charities, and a lot of the money was raised during the one-day show. The rest of it was raised during the clubâs weekly Cruise-Ins.
The Salvation Army in Paris continued to offer its services in November and December, including rent assistance, a bread line and soup kitchen and a mental health crisis hotline.
