Over 100 cars were present at "Beat the Heat" car show / cruise-in that was held on Saturday, 12 July 2008.  The event was held to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House of Greenville and in memory of past club member, Pat Paxton.  Registration was free and moneys were collected through the sale of tickets for door prizes and a 50/50 drawing.  Door prizes were donated by club members and local businesses.  Trophies were sponsored by the RightWay and Bojangles restaurants (TANDS, Inc).

Over $800 in tickets were sold thanks to the efforts of Savannah Heath and Hannah Hill.  These two young ladies, dressed "poodle skirts" and matching bows, won over the hearts (and wallets) of the participants.

Trophy winners, which were determined by participant vote, were as follows:

Best Paint: Allen Rowe of Stantonsberg

with his '58 Chevy Pickup

Best interior: Adrian Overbee of Goldsboro

with his '40 Packard 110

Best Engine: Dennis Grieve of Washington

Best of Show: Allen Rowe of Stantonsberg

Three additional trophies were presented by Fred Wade, Becky Mitchell, and Darlene Paxton in memory of past club members:

Best Mustang in memory of Les Joyner

Best Ford in memory of Mitch Mitchell
