Knights happy with car show

SEMINOLE — The Knights of Columbus council 17162 of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church held their first annual Cruz In For Christ Car Show Feb. 18 at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church.

The event was a great success, the council said in a press release, raising more than $3,500 for The Kimberly Home.

More than 500 people showed up to view the 90 registered cars. The Blessed Sacrament School choir sang the National Anthem and God Bless America, and the school’s Brownie Troop presented the Colors.

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office landed their helicopter in the school’s soccer field and brought both of their classic patrol cars to our show. The Sheriff's cadets were also present helping with traffic.
