The 'Fallen 9 Firemen's Memorial Cruise-In' will now take place on the 22nd of July from 3-6pm at the Tanger Outlet Mall area next to the Fire Museum in North Charleston.
This is near the Charleston Airport off I-526 and International Blvd.
THIS IS NOT A CAR SHOW and NOT A COMPETITION.
No one is worried about how your car looks...clean or dirty.
It's not about us or our cars...it is to help raise money for the families of the 9 heroes who lost their lives protecting other people's lives and property on June 18th in Charleston.
PLEASE come out and support this great cause if you can.
I will ask Rick to post the flyer...no cost at all to participate.

Update On Some Cool Stuff Concerning The Firemen's Cruise-In This Sunday...
The City of Charleston will be bringing Engine #16. For a minimum $20 donation you can pull up next to this fire truck as you enter the cruise in and have your picture taken. We will be uploading the pictures on the Coastal Carolina Corvette Club's website after the event so that you can view and print them. (You will be given an instruction sheet at the event on how to retrieve your picture.)
The City of North Charleston will be bringing two fire trucks (one will be the ladder truck) and a Fire & Rescue vehicle. They are also bringing the Smokehouse (an educational display that teaches children what to do if they are caught in a fire).
We will also have activity books and other goodies from both fire departments on hand for the kids.
Brad Franko with Channel 2 news will be our Honorary Host.
Skip Barrus with Sound Waves will DJ the event.
We have two guest singers who will perform several songs during the event.
The North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum and Educational Center will be open. If you have not visited this museum it is a must see!!!! They are waiving the admission fee. Instead there will be a donation box in the lobby.
The Cotton Exchange in West Ashley designed Charleston 9 Memorial t-shirts. These t-shirts will be sold throughout the event for $15. They are incredible t-shirts ... everyone will want one!
At the end of the event, everyone will be invited to go on a police escorted cruise from the Tanger Outlet Mall to the Sofa Super Store on Hwy 17. The City of North Charleston and the City of Charleston police departments will be working together on this escort. We will not be stopping at the Sofa Super Store - this is only for a drive by and will be considered the end of the event.
Note - If your club wants to park together you must arrive together. We have received an overwhelming amount of support throughout SC as well as NC, GA and TN for this event. We will not be able to save spaces. Please plan ahead and arrive with anyone that you wish to park next to.

Just wanted to give a SPECIAL THANKS to Tony & Becky Tomes and Roger & Sherri Austin for taking the long drive to join us in Charleston yesterday for the Firemen's Memorial Cruise-In.
Great turnout and great weather.
You guys caught us in a 'cold' front...it was only 88 instead of 98 ;D
It's always special to see our out of town cruizer buds.
Hopefully Sherri will be sending out her awesome photo link.

We had a great trip to Charleston! It was wonderful to see all our SC PT friends and Tony and Becky too! We were glad to be able to come and show our support for the Charleston 9 Fireman that gave their all. Here is a photo show of the cruise-in, the Fire Museum and a tribute to the Charleston 9: www.photoshow.net/viewshow/xT6CD6sm |

WOW Sherri.
Incredible photos.
Thank you so much for that.
I will definitely send your photo link out to all of the Palmetto PT Cruisers.
And the display that you and Roger put together was awesome.
I sent a photo of that to our local newspaper so I'm hoping they will show it.
THANKS!
