Lambert-Tatman Funeral Home & Crematory was proud to participate in the 11th Annual Belpre Cruise-In, bringing together car enthusiasts, families, and community members for an afternoon of fun, fellowship, and local support. Held at Belpre Masonic Lodge #609, the event featured a wide variety of classic and custom vehicles, with dash plaques awarded to participating drivers and trophies presented for Best of Show, Second Place, and Third Place. Guests also enjoyed concessions, door prizes, a 50/50 raffle, and free admission for spectators. Representing Lambert-Tatman Funeral Home & Crematory at the event were Scott Church, Chris Wagner, Ben Vest, Hannah Rice, and William Vest. The Cruise-In welcomed 30 registered vehicles and over 100 attendees throughout the afternoon. For Lambert-Tatman Funeral Home & Crematory, the event is about more than showcasing beautiful vehicles. It is an opportunity to invest in the community and support future generations. One of the highlights of the Cruise-In is the ability to provide a $1,000 scholarship funded through event proceeds. "We enjoy working in our community, and being able to be a part of offering a scholarship from the proceeds is a huge bonus," shared Funeral Director William Vest. The Cruise-In has become a beloved annual tradition in Belpre; the combination of classic cars, community spirit, and charitable giving continues to make the event a meaningful gathering for all who attend. Lambert-Tatman Funeral Home & Crematory looks forward to sponsoring the event again next year and continuing its commitment to bringing people together while supporting local students and families. Thank you to everyone who participated, attended, and helped make this year's Belpre Cruise-In another success.
