10th annual Veterans’ Cruise-In and Car Show coming to Oxford
OXFORD – The 10th annual Veterans’ Cruise-In and Car Show will kick off this Saturday at the New York State Veterans’ Home in Oxford. The event will take place rain or shine with registration at 9 a.m. The cost for each car will be $5.
“This event equates to the county fair for the veterans,” said Jamey Supensky. “They look forward to it all year and they talk about it all year. A lot of the veterans’ families also come to share the experience with them.”
The car show helps bring the community and the veterans together. Attendees will enjoy a wide variety of amusements along with an impressive collection of antique cars hailing from all generations of the motor vehicle industry. Diversions will include music, more than 100 door prizes to be raffled off and food (including hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream from Gilligan’s famous assortment of homemade products). Vendors will also be on site selling their wares to spectators.
Money from the event helps supplement the Veterans’ Home Pet Project and Broome County Canine Help which provides the home with many of its therapy pets.
A flag ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. which will incorporate “Taps,” as well as a flag folding ceremony to be followed by the presentation of the folded American Flag to one of the home’s veterans. Each year a different veteran is selected to be honored.
The cars will be judged by veterans, staff and participating drivers. Voters will select their favorite vehicles from eight different categories, including pre-WW I (1917 and before), pre-WW II (1918-1941), pre-Korean Conflict (1942-1950), pre-Vietnam Conflict (1951-1964), pre-Grenada Invasion (1965-1983), pre-Desert Storm (1984-1990), the Iraq War (1991-present), and motorcycles from all eras.
Although last year’s attendance took a hit due to poor weather conditions, the year before last approximately 140 cars participated in the event. Meteorologists have claimed Mother Nature will be in high spirits this weekend, and organizers are anticipating quite a crowd for this year’s car show.
“We always get a really good turn out,” said Supensky, who added that many volunteers also come out to help during the car show, she explained. Along with individuals who volunteer, so do many of the local legions, VFWs, Elks, Corvette clubs, car clubs and motorcycle clubs to make the event possible.
“Everybody should come, it’s a nice fun event,” stated Supensky.
