On Saturday, October 16th a car, truck and tractor show was held to raise money for medical expenses for Tonya Stearns. The show was held at Sonic Drive In in Russell Springs.

A group of about 30 vehicles attended the show and once again I was amazed at the quality of vehicles there from every car to motorcycle.

Once again the weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed it.

A lot of prizes were given away that had been donated by local merchants. The "OLDIES" music filled the air once again and even had people doing the Twist in the parking lot.

At the end of the show trophies were handed out to the top 15 vehicles in the show and a plaque was given to the best car, truck, tractor and motorcycle attending. Then the biggie was given to the best of show.

The winners of the top 15 vehicles were, (in no particular order)

Bill & Regina VanHouser for their 1957 Chevy Bel Air

Tom & Susan Bernardi for their 1969 Mustang Mach I

Stu Mazupa for his 1972 Olds 442

Wayne Lynch for his 1950 Ford Custom

Paul Combest for his 1965 VW  Beatle

Mary Ellis for her 2011 Camaro SS

Calvin Davis for his 1966 Ford Galaxie

The show was a success and money was raised for Tonya's medical bills that were mounting up.

A special thank you is sent out also to all the merchants that donated prizes. Houchens Market, Johnson's Service Center, McDonalds of Russell Springs, Hudson's Service, Spray & Shine Car Wash and East 80 Car Wash. If I forgot to mention someone please forgive me but you were appreciated also.

Thanks to Phyllis Taylor and Fill Cowell who worked hard selling the 50/50 tickets. Sandy Shepard who did all the registrations, and Ron Cowell for supplying the music, and Mike Taylor and Dwayne Esau for giving me a hand with the music set up and tear down. And I know the Stearns family thanks Themie Shepard for all his hard work in setting up the show.
