The Santa Cruz Police Department would
like to thank the Santa Cruz Woodie Club for the framed event poster and
commemorative plaque they presented to Chief Kevin Vogel at the Woodies on the
Wharf event that took place on Saturday June 22nd. This years plaque is engraved with these kind and heartfelt
words:
“In appreciation for the service you
provide to the citizens and visitors of the City of Santa Cruz. Thank you
for your professionalism, dedication and heroism. Your willingness to put
your lives on the line daily shows the commitment to your profession. The
Santa Cruz Woodie Club thanks you in memory of Sgt. Loran Baker and Detective
Elizabeth Butler.”
Mayor Hilary Bryant was on hand to
accept a framed event poster on behalf of the City of Santa Cruz. The
Mayor and the Chief assisted with the annual raffle by drawing the winning
numbers for the lucky recipients of the two cruiser bikes and the two
surfboards. The weather for this event was picture perfect, to which we
give credit to the Mayor!
This was the 19th annual Surf City
classic and Northern California’s largest woodie show, featuring more than 200
stylish, pre-1952 wood-bodied cars. Since the first Woodies on the Wharf
event 19 years ago, the Santa Cruz Police Department and the Santa Cruz Parks
and Recreation Department have assisted the woodies as they depart the wharf in
parade-like fashion at the conclusion of the event. The parade of woodies
leaving the wharf is quite an impressive sight to see.
Chief Vogel and the Santa Cruz Police
Department would like to thank and express our appreciation to the Santa Cruz Woodie Club!
