AutoValue Hoods on Horton 2024

Another banner event! We were blessed by the weather gods, once again. We hosted 168+ vehicles that began arriving early Sunday, August 11. The vehicles were photographed by Bill Fenton and then escorted to their parking spot. Oh, the smell of car polish and gasoline! All those 47 red cars sure looked sharp out front. The day progressed with breakfast sandwiches, Bono coffee, A&W Hamburgers, hotdogs from AutoValue, a Vendor/Sponsor mini trade show, raffles, 50/50, a silent auction, Flames Alumni Brent Krahn, Brendan Mikkelson and Doug Barkley, music by Al Barrett, balloon creations by Twistin’ Tex, wobbly pops served by our lovely Legion gals and 71 volunteers making it all happen with the support from 70 sponsors. The Veterans Association Food Bank happily received many cash donations and four tables FULL of food. Congratulations to GM for winning the “Pride in Your Ride” Food Challenge. Ken Taylor won the Vehicle of the Year Draw (1951 Chev BS-businessman’s coupe) and the coveted black Hood's Hat. Thank you, everyone!
