Hot cars and college students are descending onto Panama City. Before you automatically assume I am referring to the mass of Spring Breakers who will be partying all over our beaches the next few weeks, take a moment to remember our own FSU campus. Located next to Gulf Coast Community College, the FSU-PC campus provides high-level education and degrees to community members of all ages, conducts valuable research, and houses many civic-minded student organizations.
One such organization is the Psychology Club. The Psychology Club has been beneficial to students and community alike through food and clothing drives for local charities, participating in the Adopt-a-Highway program, sponsoring guest lecturers and lectures for FSU students such as 'Getting into Graduate School' and sending students to conventions such as APS, where they can present research projects they have contributed towards and gain valuable experience in their fields of study.
To raise money for next semester's activities, the FSU-PC Psychology Club is hosting the 1st Annual Seminole Showdown Car Show on Saturday, March 20th. The club is looking for registrations of classic cars, import tuners, low riders, motorcycles and more. Registration is $20.00 for non- students and $15.00 for FSU students. Twenty-inch trophies donated by Bay Engraving will be awarded to the top 20 vehicles and a People's Choice vote will bring an even bigger prize to its winner. The event is free to spectators and, in addition to the show, a live DJ will pump up the crowds. Goodie bags, giveaways, raffles and food will also be available.
Kelley Roberts, event organizer and Events Chair of the Psychology Club, says "I have been in a ton of car shows with my car. I am so excited to be putting on a car show because I love cars and I want to raise a lot of money for the Psychology Club here at FSU PC. For the 1st Annual FSU -PC Seminole Showdown we want as many cars, giveaways and spectators as possible to really make a stand in the community to hopefully keep having the event every year!"
