RICHMOND, Va. β Ronald Tatum took his final ride as the organizer of the Richmond Rodders car show at Osborne Landing in Henrico County on Saturday.
Tatum, who started the Richmond Rodders back in 2005, has held several fundraising cookouts every year for the past 20 years.
More than 300 hot rods were parked in the field and were on display at the event.
Tatum says health concerns led to his decision to step away from organizing the annual hot rod show.
"I have some health issues that I have to address primarily," Tatum told Jon Burkett. "I know you can appreciate going out on top. I feel like it's the best I can do."
The Richmond Rodders Car Club supports various charities throughout the year, continuing its tradition of community service.
Michael Tillet says he is considering taking over the event to keep the tradition alive.
"This is the 20th year and it's great turnout every year," Tillet said. "He does this to give back to the community, give back to the car culture."
