Summer Driving Tips

Its summer time and people are traveling more than normal! Here are some driving safety tips to avoid an accident when behind the wheel:

- Don’t allow children to fight or climb around in the car (they should be buckled in their seats at all times).

- Cell phones can also take your focus away from the task at hand. Learn more in the Nationwide Blog about the under-reporting of cell phone involvement in fatal car crashes.

- Avoid driving when you’re tired. Be aware that some medications can cause drowsiness and make operating a vehicle very dangerous.

- Always use caution when changing lanes. Changing lanes too fast or not using your signals or cutting in front of someone may cause an accident or upset other drivers.

Horizon Community Credit Union wishes you a safe and happy summer!

Cars, Cars and More Cars

It’s that time of the year again. All of the car enthuses are gearing up for the 29th Annual NWTC Car Show and Swap Meet on Saturday May 3rd from 10:00am until 4:00pm at the NWTC Campus parking lot. If you have never been to a car show, you are in for a treat. There will be cars of all makes, models and years. So whatever type of car “starts your engine”, you will be able to find it there. Along with all the classic, sports & modern cars, you will also find fun activities for all ages.

There will be Special Contests and Activities throughout the day for all ages, refreshments, Dash Plaques for the first 250 Cars that register, and a swap meet for anyone looking to buy parts for those fixer-uppers. There are also Door Prize Drawings from 10:00 until 2:00. Advanced raffle tickets are available from any NWTC Auto Club Member.

Admission will be $3.00 per person, with 1.00 off if you bring a non-perishable item. Children under 12 and Seniors FREE

So, if you are out and about on May 3rd with nothing to do, and are looking for something inexpensive to do, stop in at NWTC and check out all the cool rides. I know I will be there, rain or shine.
