Organizer Stephanie Owens said, “The Hot Spot Car Rally committee has been working hard in preparation for this year’s car show. We are gearing up for another fantastic year with fabulous vehicles, awesome food vendors, and spectacular folks all around. Every year the car show sells raffle tickets for a pedal car or two, and we donate those proceeds to someone local who has a financial need due to medical circumstances. Tickets are available at 7 Lazy S Cafe or Farmers Insurance and may also be purchased during the car show. We will announce the pedal car winner(s) during the car show Awards ceremony at the end of the car show. Registration is $40 for vehicles, and free for the public to come and walk around and experience all the wonderful rides.”
