It was a day to rev up the engine and show off some power.
The Goodman Car show was held Saturday at the Goodman ballpark.
There was a great turnout of more than 40 cars from Mustang convertibles to C10 pick-up trucks.
Many people showed up to this annual event for the cars, music and food.
There were concession stands and free watermelon was given away to those in attendance.
Families came out and enjoyed themselves while looking at the cars.
“Cars are my dreams,” said Michaela Kohley, 13, about her feelings toward automobiles and car shows.
Michaela’s passion is similar to that of her father, Keith Kohley.
“The littlest things always matter,” said Michaela.
Car shows are a hobby that everyone in the family can enjoy.
“Everyone has done this in this town for years,” said Andy Bowling, a participant of the show. “Ever since I was 16 years old, I’ve always messed with vehicles.”
He’s been to countless car shows and six this year. His truck was a 1985 pick-up truck with a C10 body style.
“We all like to show off our vehicles,” said Bowling, who considers his fellow participants friends and people to share this hobby with.
It takes quite a bit of patience and skill to rebuild a vehicle. Jacob Tosh, one of the workers at the car show, talked about the truck that he and his father spent two years working to put together.
“Took pieces from the salvage yards, and we had to put in the work,” Tosh said.
He’s been going to shows ever since he was 4. His dad had an old classic and has been going to shows for several years. He and his dad put that truck together and are working on another right now.
There were many things at the show for everyone. A burnout contest was held, and quite a bit of excitement was to be had when Jerry Morgan’s 1985 Ford pick-up pulled away with the victory.
Another activity was the “basher” car, where people from the event were able to destroy an older car just for fun.
