Sweet-n-Low Customs Club President, Danny Dwiggins, expressed his thanks to everyone involved, saying, “I cannot thank our sponsors, attendees, vendors, WTRE, DJ, donors, and all of the Sweet-n-Low team for making this show an absolute success. We began 10 years ago as a group of guys that just liked looking at cars. Since then, we have raised funds for multiple different organizations and individuals. We are looking forward to the next 10 years.”
The event was made possible by the generous support of sponsors including Big Squirt, St. Paul Tavern, Rick Monier Flooring, Dyer Insurance, Jacks Wax, Carmon Concrete, Helms Auto, Dwiggins Transport, Shelbyville O’Reilly’s, and Ramey Consulting.
Looking ahead, Dwiggins announced that Sweet-n-Low Customs will be hosting a fundraiser car show on October 6, 2024, with all proceeds benefiting the South Decatur Cougars Youth Football program. “Let’s raise some funds for the team!”
