Fine Rides rolls in Saturday
BY ELESKA AUBESPIN
eleska.aubespin@baytownsun.com
Car enthusiasts are being lured
to the Royal Purple Raceway this
Saturday with a particular carrot of
interest - antique, customized and
classic cars.
Over 200 automobiles will be
on display during the 25th Annu-
al Bayshore Fine Rides Car Show
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the raceway,
2525 South FM 565 in Baytown.
“This is our annual car show
fundraiser,” said Baytowm resident
Dale Hughes, president of Bayshore
Fine Rides. Inc. “We are a nonprofit
organization and we raise funds to
give to needy families in the area
and some national charities.
“We try to focus on children, the
military and the elderly.”
With its annual Bayshore Fine
Rides Car Show, the nonprofit
group has raised upwards of $8,000
each year for charity, including the
Make A Wish f oundation and Ron-
ald McDonald House.
Bayshore Fine Rides, Inc. is made
up of about 150 car enthusiasts from
the Baytown area, including High-
lands and Channel view.
“Some members build their own
cars while others buy and sell,” said
Hughes, the owner of a 2006 Mus-
tang. “I buy. I'm not a builder, but
we all tinker with our rides to make
them unique.
"We just share a passion for auto-

mobiles and are able to do that and
raise funds at the same time to help
others.”
Saturday’s car show is free to the
public. Parking is also free. On
hand will be non-food vendor spac-
es, crafts and a swap meet, “which
is lingo for car stuff,” Hughes
chuckled.
A car corral w ill allow enthusiasts
to sale old classic cars and over 60
custom awards will be presented to
w inners of the car show. Awards
include President’s Choice, Best of
Show, and the Top 30 Participants
Choice, among others.
Over S3,000 in raffle prizes will
be given away during the fami-
ly-oriented affair. Food is also
available.
Hughes noted that during the car
show, the 4th Annual C.A.S.l. Chili
Cook Off is also happening simulta-
neously at the racetrack.
“The Chili Appreciation Society
International has partnered with us
over the last four years and whatev-
er proceeds they make they donate
it to us for our charitable causes,”
Hughes said.

Council approves pipeline, wells
BY MARK FLEMING
mark.fleming@baytownsun.com
Mont Belvieu city council mem-
bers made short work of a short agen-
da Monday night, wrapping up their
meeting in less than 15 minutes as
they approved a pipeline permit, four
well permits and a new ordinance. Se-
lection of a contractor for Eagle Drive
landscaping was postponed.
The new ordinance, an amendment
to the sign ordinance, will prohib-
it the use of decorative LED lights,
such as some businesses use to out-
line windows, doors or other features
of their buildings. The ordinance does
not affect temporary holiday-themed
lighting between November 15 and
January 15.
City administrator Bryan Easum
said he did not know of any busi-.
nesses in Mont Belvieu that use the
lighting, but that it can be seen on
businesses near the city. He said the
lighting serves no purpose other than
to attract attention.
Easum presented the council with
proposals from the three low bidders
on the project to landscape Eagle
Drive.
The low bidder came with good
references, Easum said, but had some
lawsuits on its record that the city had
not yet been able to find details about.
The council directed the city attorney
to look into the lawsuits and report
back to the council to see if they sug-
gested any problems with work per-
formance.
T he council met again Wednesday
night to interview candidates for the
open positions.of city planner and city
engineer, but no decisions were made
at the meeting. Easum said.

BIBLE VERSE
Then I looked, and I
heard the voice of many an-
gels surrounding the throne
and the living creatures and
the elders; they numbered
myriads of myriads and
thousands of thousands,
singing with full voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb that
was slaughtered to receive
power and wealth and wis-
dom and might and honor
and glory and blessing!”
