About Cherokee Rodders
Our Mission
At Cherokee Rodders, we strive to provide a unique and unforgettable experience for all registered Car Show participants. Our mission is to bring together like-minded individuals to enjoy two days of viewing fantastically restored classic automobiles, renewing old friendships and the possibility of winning fabulous monetary prizes and trophies. In addition, we want our spectators to enjoy the experience of seeing such fabulous automobiles!
Event History
The "Cruise the Smokies" Cherokee Rod Runs have been highly anticipated events in Cherokee, NC for over two decades. Car owners and entihusiasts travel from towns throughout the Southeastern United States to attend the events. Nothing could be finer than to be in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina in the spring and fall.
Our Team
Cherokee Rodders is a group of volunteer men and women who love the old vehicles, love working on them and work extremely hard to make sure that our guests have a wonderful experience at our two-day events each year in the Spring and the Fall.
Our Chairperson is Charles Bryson who works tirelessly in the weeks before, during, and after the car show, serves as our Leader, Show Emcee, Coordinator of all show activities, Facebook Administrator, expert storehouse of knowledge about old cars & trucks, and "Friend to All" who actually answers his phone when we call for information or advice.
