The 20th Annual Cruisin’ ’Cuse will be Saturday at the Syracuse Community Center, 1013 N. Long Drive, across from Lakeside Park.

The car show will be Saturday from 8 a.m to 3 p.m. in Syracuse.

Owners of classic cars, street rods, antiques and collector cars plus motorcycles and trucks are invited to enter their vehicles for judging and displays.

Those entering the show will vie for the Best of Show Trophy, which is a judged event. Along with the trophy, Hoosier Hot Rods has donated $100 cash for the winner. Also judged will be Best Paint, Best Interior and Best Engine.

Other awards include the Denny Mock Memorial/Dave Riding’s State Farm Insurance Trophy, the Town Manager’s Choice Trophy and the Fire Department Choice Trophy, with the winners selected by someone from each group.

There will also be trophies for first- and second-place judged events.

The event is sponsored by the Wawasee Kiwanis, who are planning to have an ambulance from Riley Hospital for Children on display.

Riley Hospital is the major charity Indiana’s Kiwanis clubs’ support, and the ambulance was purchased with donations from those clubs.

Culminating the Saturday activities will be a vehicle parade around Lake Wawasee beginning in town at 3:15 p.m. Friday. The local McDonald’s will sponsor its annual Cruise-In with more than 100 vehicles on display.

All are invited to bring their specialized cars, and there is no entry fee. To enter the Saturday competitions, call Robert Vandal at 457-2401. Entry fees range from $5 (non-judged vehicle) to $15. Cruisin’ T-shirts are available for $10.

Church breakfast

North Webster Church of the Brethren, 7281 E. 600 North, will be serving breakfast from 7 to 10 a.m. Saturday.

Biscuits with sausage gravy, cornmeal mush, scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, fruit cups, juice and coffee will be served. There is no charge for the breakfast, but donations will be accepted.

The public is also invited to a family banquet May 25 at 6 p.m. for a joint celebration of Mothers and Fathers days. A meal will be served at no charge. For more information, contact the church at 834-7000.

Milford Fest

“Super Saturday” Cruise In & Car Show is just one of the highlights of the annual Milford Fest May 24.

There is no entry fee for the car show, and dash plaques will be given to the first 50 entrants, which begins at 9 a.m. There will also be free rides for the children, a parade and lots of food.

For information on any of these events, contact Trisha Gall at 344-7811.
