Back by popular demand are the Petaluma Police Chief, Patrick Williams, and the Petaluma Fire Chief, Leonard Thompson. They were judges in last year's 2nd annual Car Show and they are back again to be two additional judges at the car show.

The Police Chief’s Award is called “Breakin’ the Law” and the Fire Chief’s award is ”Too Hot to Handle”.

In addition, Sonoma County Street Rodz in Petaluma is sponsoring an award, the Cruisin' North Car Club is sponsoring an award, The Plaza North Shopping Center is sponsoring an award (in addition to holding the event at their location) and Redwood Credit Union is sponsoring an award. Thank you to all of the sponsors and judges for making this such an amazing event.

Currently, more than 5 million American’s have Alzheimer’s and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.
