The First Ever Cars and Paws Car Show will be held downtown Smithville on the public square Saturday October 2 starting at 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Awards will be presented at 2 p.m. Proceeds will go to benefit the DeKalb Animal Shelter. A pet adoption event will also be held in conjunction with the car show.
“My wife Sherry and I have lived in Smithville for the last couple of years and we wanted to do something to benefit the animal shelter so a car show was something that we naturally gravitated to because I love cars and especially old cars and she sells cars. Sherry formally worked at the local Ford dealership and now works for the one in McMinnville,” said Michael Shane Wilcher.
Pre-Registration is underway: 1 automobile-$20; 2 automobiles $30; 3 automobiles $35. An additional $5.00 the day of the show. Food vendors will be available: $20 will go straight to the charity the day of the show. No new food vendors on the day of the show.
“This will not be a super stringent or very polished car show. It’s a benefit that just happens to be a car show so we want people who love all types of cars to come out and think of showing their cars as a way to benefit that charity,” said Wilcher.
