The Arc Northwest Mississippi on Saturday held its first “Cruisin with The Arc” Car Show at Maples Memorial United Methodist Church in Olive Branch. An estimated 150 vintage vehicles were lined the parking lot for people to view and vote for their choice for the People’s Choice Award. Judges also viewed the vehicles for prizes in different categories.
Another award given was the “Mayor’s Choice Award.” Mayors of the cities in DeSoto County were invited to come and participate. Olive Branch Mayor Scott Phillips, Horn Lake Mayor Allen Latimer, and Walls Mayor Keidron Henderson came and judged the cars for that award.
The event was held as a fundraiser for The Arc Northwest Mississippi, the nonprofit organization serving the disability communities of Northwest Mississippi through providing programs, support and advocacy.
