The seventh annual Hot Rods for Heroes Car Show in North Platte, Nebraska, held at Cody Park on Saturday, was a roaring success. The event, organized by Emma and Trey Painter, featured a stunning display of classic vehicles dating back to the 1930s, along with popular favorites like Mustangs and Trans Ams. The Painters were thrilled with the turnout this year and are excited to see the event continue to grow in the future.
One of the highlights of this year’s car show was the addition of vendors for the first time. Showgoers had the opportunity to enjoy refreshments from lemonade, coffee, and taco trucks while admiring the impressive lineup of cars. What’s even more impressive is that all proceeds from the event go back to supporting Disabled American veterans in North Platte, making it a truly meaningful and impactful gathering.
Emma and Trey Painter put their heart and soul into making the event a success, even going as far as handcrafting all of the trophies awarded at the car show. Each trophy was unique, made from a combination of old car parts sourced from friends, family, and various sources. With over 10 categories for trophies and awards, the Painters ensured that every participant felt appreciated and recognized for their contribution to the event.
The dedication and passion of the Painters extended beyond the car show, as they announced upcoming Cars and Coffee events to be held at the Espresso Shop in North Platte on September 21 and October 19. These events provide car enthusiasts with an opportunity to come together, share their love for automobiles, and enjoy a cup of coffee in a welcoming atmosphere.
Overall, the seventh annual Hot Rods for Heroes Car Show was a resounding success, thanks to the hard work and commitment of Emma and Trey Painter, as well as the support of sponsors, participants, and attendees. The event not only showcased a stunning collection of classic cars but also raised funds for a worthy cause, making it a truly special and memorable day for all involved.
