About the Clinton Area Rod Club
The Clinton Area Rod Club is a non-profit organization, founded and organized in 1985 as a family-oriented social club with a current membership of 57 car owners and many active spouses. Club focus is about the preservation of and love for cherished vehicles, operated exclusively for pleasure, recreation, and exhibition while sharing knowledge and learning from those they meet along the way. The Clinton Area Rod Club meets once a month and spends the better part of the year planning the Fun in the Sun Show. Other community organizations are invited to speak about their organizations as well.
T-Shirt sponsors and trophy sponsors help kick start the yearly car show Fun in The Sun Car Show with the event used to raise money for the community. CARC participates in a variety of community related events each year. Its 2021 “Bucks for Brantley” raised $12,415.00 with the funds helping to cover expenses for the Brantley Funeral Memorial, raising child abuse awareness in the community, memorial park benches placed at Ericksen Center Emma Young Pond in Brantley’s name, and donations to My Gear Outreach, an area organization
providing backpacks of basic needs for area children going into foster care, in Brantley’s name.
