C & C Motor Company presented checks this week to local charities from the 2nd Annual Cruisin’ the Creek Bank Car Show fundraiser at Leeds Creek Bank Festival.  Chris & Christy McCombs presented a check for $1810.50 to Leeds Outreach and $1810.50 to St. Clair County Backpack Buddies at Leeds Memorial Park where the car show was held.  We would like to thank C & C Motor Company and all of their sponsors as well as everyone who came out to support these two charities.  These donations would not be possible without the great work that C & C Motor Company and all of their sponsors do.  THANK YOU!

This charity car show team is not resting on their laurels, but already busy planning the 7^th Annual C & C Motor Company & Carpenetti’s Car Show in conjunction with Moody Oktoberfest scheduled for the first weekend in October.  

We attended the Leeds Community Chorus Spring Concert at the Leeds Theater and Arts Center Saturday evening and had a fabulous time.  We enjoyed the music from all of the performers including the Clay Boys Bluegrass Ensemble and Sandra McGuire with Beth Gregory performing “California Dreaming” from The Mamas and the Papas which took us down memory lane!  I recorded a few video clips with my cell phone and posted them on my Facebook page so feel free to view, Like and Share.
