THANK YOU FROM THE CROTON ROTARY CLUB: THE 38TH ANNUAL CROTON ROTARY AUTO SHOW ETC.

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

To the Editor:

The Croton Rotary would like to thank all those who supported the 38th Annual Croton Rotary Auto Show and Cool Car Parade that took place on September 25th.  

Thanks to Franzoso Contracting and Croton DPW who helped in setting up, taking down and generally preparing the Croton Harmon Train Station to accommodate nearly a hundred cars and over 500 people who came to see the event and enjoy the many other activities on a cloudy but dry Sunday afternoon.

The 38th Annual Auto Show couldn’t have happened without the The Road Knights, who judged the contestants and selected the winners. 

Thanks as always to the Croton Police Department, Croton Fire Department, Croton EMS who were on hand to display their equipment and answer questions.

Kudos to our Famous Chili Cook-off contestants: Franki’s, 140 Grand, Fino, and 105-Twenty. The delicious entry from 140 Grand was the winner. This contest is a great illustration of how many local businesses partner with Croton Rotary to support our efforts locally and around the world. 

Thanks to Pedego Electric Bikes, part of this year’s EV Corral, and Allure Auto Spa, who sponsored booths at the show, as well as the Boy Scouts selling their popcorn.

 Thank you to the many volunteers who made this event possible including Croton Harmon High School students and members of the Croton Caring Committee, along with Chris from Westchester Balloon Co. for making this a fun event for the whole family.

Special thanks to our Gold Sponsor; Donn Gerelli Insurance Agency, Inc., Silver Sponsors; Croton Auto Park, Hudson View Automotive, and Hudson View Collision, and our Bronze Sponsors; Berkshire Hathaway River Town Real Estate, Franzoso Contracting, Max Finkelstein, Inc., Croton Car Club, and Pedago Electric Bikes.

Over one hundred businesses and organizations bought ads in the Car Show Journal that was distributed to 3,000 Gazette subscribers the week before the event. A list of Journal advertisers can be found on the Club’s website: crotonrotary.com. The 2022 Rotary Journal included a listing of the many service organizations that work alongside Rotary and our engaged and generous business partners to make our community the best it can be. This listing of volunteer service opportunities will soon be available on the Club’s website.

We are the local chapter of Rotary International. Thank you, again to all who demonstrated our motto, “Service Above Self” on this fun, community day!
