Fun in the Sun Car Show

The Clinton Area Rod Club was started in 1985 by a handful of friends who had a love for working on and driving hot rods. The second year after the club was established, they hosted their first “Fun In The Sun” car show. Most of the elders and founders have moved on or left the club for various reasons. For several years the club averaged 20 to 25 members but still threw a good car show for other car enthusiasts and the local community to enjoy. Over the last 5 years the club has grown and currently has 54 members from all over. As our club has grown, we've become like a big family. We're always there to help one another whether it be car related or just simply needing a hand with something in our daily lives. The Clinton Area Rod Club members take great pride in our community and love to support local businesses and organizations. We enjoy doing cruise-ins for local Retirement Homes, showing our cars at Clintons downtown events, gathering for monthly cruise-ins at different local businesses and attending car shows. Proceeds from our annual Fun In The Sun Car Show go back into our community. Each year the Clinton Area Rod Club helps to buy Thanksgiving dinners for the needy, donate to the local Holiday Network, purchase gifts for the caring tree, angel tree and the senior citizen trees at local retirement homes. We also help support the local Scots for Tots (Christmas presents for children in need) and the promotion of Child Abuse Awareness. Our club mission is to continue to support locally as much as we can and to continue to grow our club so we can do more for our town.
