The weather forecast for Huntsville AL was 100 degrees with a heat index of 105. This did not stop MECA competitors and Show and Shiners from coming out to support such a noble cause. Cruisin for St Jude’s was hosted to support St Jude’s Children Hospital. Also, there were a few vendors supporting families that have been affected by Leukemia. Antonio “Gotti” Reeves and Phat Baby Kustumz (www.phatbabykustumz.com) hosted this event with MECA officials taking care of the judging duties. Miss MECA Leah McGriff rocked the photo shoot as always as well as new comer Cherise with Zeta Bass Technologies gave the spectators someone new to look at and to pose with their rides. Gotti Reeves set up his mobile entertainment system which is in the form of a casket. It contains a X Box 360 Elite, 26 inch flat screen and all the games the kids could play.
