Cars that tell a story
On September 9th, 2017 the Auto Angels held the 11th Annual Show & Shine Car Show at BelPres. The event was a success on many levels. A total 70 vehicles were registered including autos, trucks, hot rods, race cars and rare collector cars. Participants, spectators and families had a good time and enjoyed a tasty lunch on the patio. Over 20 award categories were presented at the end of the show.
Thanks to the generosity of our Sponsors and over $3,000 raffle tickets sold, Auto Angels was able to net almost $20,000 in contributions to fund their mission’s programs. Additionally, a $2,500 portion of those contributions has been earmarked for Hurricane Relief. And lastly, our prayers were answered as the rain held off until the show was over and everything was put away.
Please view the list below for our Sponsors and Award categories. Links provide a photo of the outstanding entries that were 2017 Awards winners.
