Car show revs up teens in East Chattanooga

Straight Street Car & Bike Club and East Chattanooga Recreation Center will offer a car show that doubles as a life lesson Saturday.

The all-day event, which starts at 10 a.m., is a way “to try and show our kids a different way of life,” according to organizers.

In addition to show cars and motorcycles, the day will feature a job fair of sorts, with police officers and contractors among those on hand to talk about their careers.

A Zumba instructor and a fitness coach will lead workouts and talk about exercise and nutrition.

Former gang members will talk to participants about gangs, the harm they cause and how you can have a life without them, according to event organizers. Girls will have someone to talk to them about sexual abstinence.
