With 150 vehicles registered for Sea Cruise already, Jason Bartholomew says more than 350 Corvettes, Mustangs, low riders, rat rods and muscle cars could cover the grass at Beachfront Park on Saturday.

The president of the Northern Knights Car Club, the co-organizer for Crescent City’s last big hurrah before winter sets in, said a new class will be added this year — semi trucks.

“To be 100 percent honest, I don’t know what I’m going to get,” Bartholomew told the Wild Rivers Outpost on Thursday. “We always try to give the community and participants what they want within reason and it was brought up multiple times, and, we’ll see.”

The 30th-Annual Sea Cruise Car Show is making a comeback after the Delta variant put community events on hold last year. The festivities kick off with the Show and Shine from 4-6 p.m. Friday followed by the classic car sanctioned cruise.

The main event comes early Saturday at from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. at Beachfront Park where spectators can inspect this year’s entries, browse the marketplace, get some food and purchase raffle prizes. Trophies will be awarded at 3 p.m. Saturday.

“This year we’ll be giving out 107 trophies,” said Cindy Vosburg, executive director for the Crescent City-Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce. “We have a trophy for best of show (and) the top winner, and we’re also having a Founders Trophy in honor of the people who founded the club.”

Bartholomew said he’s not yet sure how judging will work for the semi truck class. He said he’ll add a class to the show if he can get 10 participants. This pays for the trophies and puts a “minimum amount” into the car club’s coffers.

The latest addition to the show in previous years was the low rider class two years ago. Corvettes and Mustangs have their own classes. There are classes for Camaros and Firebirds as well as survivors — vehicles that, other than tires, oil and fuel, have the original paint and parts.

So far, three semi trucks have entered Sea Cruise. Bartholomew said they’re putting them in a section of the park that doesn’t have sprinklers and stays predominantly dry. The truck’s size can also vary from an older Peterbilt with a sleeper to a small bobtail truck.

As for the judges, Bartholomew said he has a team of 10 who are mechanics, car salesmen, representatives of the local auto parts stores and car enthusiasts.

“I try not to get any too much of one (judge) so we get a good mixture of winners,” he said, adding that some judges want authentic cars with wheels straight from the factor, while others want the showy candy apple red jobs.

Despite the often uncertain weather — sun and temperatures in the 60s is forecasted for the weekend — it’s important that Sea Cruise is held in October, Vosburg said. The community could easily have moved the date to the middle of summer. But, she said, the chamber felt holding it in the shoulder season was a bigger benefit to local businesses.

It provides a late-season boost to the local economy, filling the restaurants, short-term rentals, hotels and motels and RV parks.

The number of visitors, in turn, keeps the community healthy, Vosburg noted.

“A lot of them are coming in today — the folks coming in from the valley and Nevada will arrive this afternoon and they’ll stay here until Sunday most times, or even Monday morning,” she told the Outpost. “It is the last big event that brings folks in to our community and those dollars with them. And it’s a fun event.”

Sea Cruise is also an opportunity for Del Norte County’s other non-profit organizations to volunteer and raise funds. Del Norte Mission Possible volunteers will help with trash pickup, the Foursquare Church youth group is helping set out cones and Del Norte Search & Rescue mans the barricades for the sanctioned cruise on Friday.

The Jaycees will have a beer booth that will also serve bloody Marys and Irish coffee on Saturday morning. People can also grab breakfast at the Elks Lodge before they check out the cadre of cars at Beachfront.

Sea Cruise is a fundraiser for the Northern Knights Car Club as well.

“We have some overhead, but 99 percent of our money goes back into the youth and the community,” Bartholomew said, adding that they’ve sent kids on their 8th grade trips and are donating to help a local family suffered a tragedy. “We’ve had scholarships at the high school. I think we’re sponsoring two movie nights at Joe Hamilton. As we see a need, we try and fill it the best we can.”

Registration for Sea Cruise will be held from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday at the Daly’s building, 964 Third Street in Crescent City. The Show & Shine will take place from 4-6 p.m. and the sanctioned cruise through Downtown Crescent City will be held at 6 p.m.

On Saturday, registration and parking will take place from 8 a.m.-10 a.m. at Beachfront Park. Judging will be held from 10 a.m.-noon with the awards ceremony at 3 p.m.

Sea Cruise Cancelled Due to Covid

By webmaster.

A newsom gaffe-fest, juried art show, newsom’s humiliation, 5 thoughts on “sea cruise cancelled due to covid”.

It’s time to run these “leaders” and “health professionals” out of the county.

Until that happens, they should be shunned and ridiculed by the community, cut off from stores and denied services, and dual class action lawsuits should be filed against them on behalf of the citizens and business owners.

Sheeple just falling in line with the propaganda mill. No evidence what so ever the recent up tick in Covid cases are in any way a safety issue. Look at the numbers people, then compare them with your own experiences. How many personally know anyone who has had Covid? Not very many I venture to guess. How many personally know anyone who has died from Covid? Again, not many. And I don’t mean you know someone who knows someone. How many people that you know personally that has had a serious case of Covid? Again not many? Or even have stayed home because they tested positive for Covid with no symptoms? Not many. Think people, Think!

Unfortunately after this city and county cried wolf for nearly 2 years the Delta Variant has indeed hit Del Norte County but it’s not by how we have been told. A study out of the UK revealed the Delta variant was caused from mutation of COVID. 65% of delta variant was found in folks who had taken the vaccine. Thereby making the vaccinated extremely contagious. As of right now I know several people who have the delta variant. Currently there are 18 people on ventilators at SCH 3 died yesterday and 3 this morning. The hospital is turning people away. The hospital is only testing people who were vaccinated and not testing unvaccinated people according to two patients I spoke with. This lends credibility to the UK study coming out. The shit storm we all knew would arrive by fall is upon us. Caused by our own government. Should we shut down our businesses and events? NO. Because this is always going to be an issue from here on out. The government is mot going to pay us to stay home. Our country is not communist.

You are implying that the vaccines have something to do with the Delta Variant. What is your source? The current “Dashboard of Doom” is only showing four “new deaths”, I can only assume that it is not current? How do we know the deaths are indeed from Covid related infections? HIPAA prevents us from knowing the actual cause of death. Do you have direct inside information or information from someone else? By the way most testing has recently been called into question, can the recent events locally be verified in any way other than from RT-PCR testing? Unless I am mistaken, our current spike locally appears to be somewhat of an outlier, not being commonly experienced in most of the rest of the US. Has that changed in the last few days? Questions, questions, interesting.

Do we know how many of those both hospitalized and have passed were vaccinated? And, which vaccine was used if they were vaccinated? Most people are unaware of the fact that most vaccines up to now under go a rigorous testing process that normally takes on average twelve years. Even then there have been instances where vaccines have survived the process, become approved, only to be withdrawn sometimes years later when serious issues were revealed when utilized in the general public. There have been occasions where even that has not occurred. Sometimes the issues were relatively mild, but in some cases the effect was catastrophic to the recipient of the vaccine. These vaccines are by no means properly vetted. If the FDA fast tracks approval of these vaccines by September, this would be malfeasance of the highest order by a government agency. They will have thrown safety for the American people, and the world for that matter out the window. When our current “nannies” talk about people not wearing masks, distancing, or washing hands, vaccine malfeasance makes that pale in comparison. If you are reading this Mdstruthers, I would hope you might have answers for my questions even if it is in a general sense. I know HIPAA regulations prevent specific referrals to specific patients, but it would be nice to get a general sense of what is happening here even if it is anecdotal information. I do not know anyone who has had Covid personally other than a clerk at a local store who said she did and a few others like that, but no one I know personally. One false positive is it.
