❤️🚒🚓 IT TAKES A COMMUNITY — AND OURS SHOWED UP! 🚓🚒❤️

As we wrap up the 2026 Hometown Heroes Car Show, we have a LOT of people to thank. This event simply would not be possible without the businesses, families and community members who continue to support the Mechanicsburg Fire Association and Mechanicsburg Police Association year after year.

First and foremost, a HUGE thank you to our Presenting Sponsors — Tim’s Towing & Auto Recovery LLC and the Cassady Family! 🏁 Your generosity and support played a huge role in making this year’s show possible, and we are incredibly grateful to have you behind us.

🏆 To all of our trophy sponsors: Thank you for helping us recognize our participants and fill our awards table with nearly 60 trophies!

🎟️ To all of our raffle donors: Thank you for the incredible assortment of items you donated. Your generosity helped make our raffle a success and raise even more money for our associations!

🌱 A special thank you to Truest Farms for donating the brats we served for lunch. Feeding a crowd is no small task, and your donation was greatly appreciated!

🗑️ Thank you to Built Different Waste Removal for providing trash cans and waste removal throughout the event. Definitely not the glamorous side of a car show, but one we absolutely couldn’t do without.

And finally, thank you to every volunteer, participant, vendor, spectator and community member who showed up, bought food, purchased raffle tickets, registered a vehicle, shared our posts, donated, volunteered or supported us in any way.

Please take a look through the attached photos and sponsor lists and help us recognize all of the amazing people and businesses who supported this year’s event.

From all of us at the Mechanicsburg Fire Association and Mechanicsburg Police Association — THANK YOU!

We couldn’t do this without our community, and we are already looking forward to the next one. 🚒🚓🏁
