Country Cruizers Car Club President presented $500 scholarships to Jayme Fradenburgh and Leonard Fowler.

The members of the Country Cruizers Car Club enjoy their antique and street rod vehicles, but also strongly value community service. The Club has supported Dollars for Scholars for a number of years, and doubled its support this year in light of the increasing need. The Club also supports the local food pantries with donations each year with proceeds earned by parking cars at the Hannibal Field Days and an annual chicken barbecue.
