Roar by the Shore car show cruising back

After a year off due to the pandemic, the Roar by the Shore car show will be making a comeback.

After a year off due to the pandemic, the Roar by the Shore car show will be making a comeback in Mentor-on-theLake.

The sixth annual cruise-in will be held at Mentor Beach Park, 7779 Lake Shore Blvd., from noon to 4 p.m. on Sept. 4.

According to Paul Morris, Mentor-on-the-Lake’s Ward 2 Councilman and member of the Roar by the Shore committee, the event brought in over 600 participating vehicles when it was last held in 2019. Organizers expect a similar or even greater turnout this year.

The show is open to all types of cars and will feature goodie bags for the first 300 participants. Additionally, there will be over 20 different awards for various vehicle categories given out at the event.

Attendees will also be able to enjoy entertainment from a local DJ, raffle prizes and plenty of food and craft vendors.

Additionally, Morris said organizers are taking steps to make sure Roar by the Shore can be easily enjoyed by those with disabilities.

“We will have a couple of golf carts at the event to help physically handicapped people get around to see the cars,” he said.

Roar by the Shore is not organized by the city, but by a group of residents and city council members.

“This group’s goal is to raise money for a charity by engaging the residents of our community and also engage the businesses that serve our community with an ‘end of summer’ event,” Morris stated in a news release.

This year, all proceeds from the event will be donated to the Greater Cleveland Fisher House, which assists veteran and military families from out-of-town who need a place to stay while their family member receives treatment at military and VA medical centers in the Cleveland area.
