We are just a few days away, this Saturday the 13th we will be honoring Max Soviak and the 12 other service members that gave the ultimate sacrifice four years ago. We have same amazing raffles (some pictured), and we will see some of the most beautiful cars you can imagine. We had a call this evening from a gentleman in Florida who will be traveling here for the show. That is amazing in my opinion. We hope to see you all there and hope to raise record setting numbers for the foundation. It will be a fun filled family day and the weather is going to be beautiful ❤️🤍💙

So I just realized that I never posted how much we raised last year. Numbers were down a bit from the previous year but we had 74 registered cars and raised just over $3700.00. All the profits were donated to the Corpsman Maxton W Soviak Memorial Foundation. Big shout out and thank you to all of our sponsors and to all that came to the show. It was a beautiful day and lots and lots of fun.
We do have a date for this years show. It's going to be September 13th with a rain date of the 14th. Will post more at a later date.
