Visitors could get lost in the 50's and 60's again at the Calhoun-Gilmer Career Center's retro-event
Saturday evening. A number of classic cars entered the "Cruise In," mostly accompanied by their
owners.
Entertainment was provided by the Calhoun High School Choir under the direction of Faye Chambers.
The group danced and sang a medley of tunes and a Elvis "He's Alive" throwback performed by Denny
Cottrill rocked the evening away. Singer Jenny Whitehair also performed.
Most of the visitors enjoyed specialty concoctions from the era, including root beer floats, giant banana
splits and Aunt Bee's blackberry cobbler. If that didn't please you, there was a real Blue Plate
Special.
The event was a fundraiser for instructional materials and scholarships.
