Despite the variable weather conditions, the car show has consistently drawn a diverse array of vehicles and enthusiasts, showcasing the depth of the local car culture.

The Founding Day Festival car show is more than just a display of vehicles; it's a celebration of the automotive passion that unites the community. "It's the camaraderie," Amber explained.

You see new cars, get up close to them and relive some of the memories of those older cars."The event's atmosphere is further enhanced by the music selection, which Amber carefully curates to transport attendees back in time. "The music helps with that too. We have some great oldies of the 50's and 60's that take you back," he said, recognizing the power of music to evoke nostalgic memories and create a truly immersive experience.
