StreetRod golf cart owners love showing off their distinctive rides
In all shapes, colors and options, 67 Street Rods were on proud display at Sumter Landing, Friday evening. They were admired by a steady throng of envious admirers who paused to take photographs, and to ask questions about everything from horsepower to accessories.
The event was sponsored by the Villages Street Rod Golf Cart Club.
The event was a fund raiser for the local chapter of the National MS Society. All the Street Rod owner’ s entrance fees of $ 25 were donated to the charitable organization.
“ There also was a 50 / 50 raffle with proceeds going to fight the disease,” said Karen Daniels, one of the MS group’ s organizers.“ We also invited everyone to participate in our MSWalk, on Saturday, March 24, at 8 a. m. at the Villages Polo Grounds.”
She and her husband Rick Douden, of the Village of Gilchrist, were located in front of their‘ 34 Ford Street Rod.
