Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3679 in Rossville is hosting the second annual Memorial Day Open Car Show Saturday, May 28 from noon to 2 p.m.
The Tennessee Chapter of Heels For Combat Boots, a volunteer organization of pinup-style women dedicated to helping veterans, will be on-site mingling.
“The car show helps fund our wheelchair ramps and repairs to our motorized wheelchairs and funds the post itself,” said VFW Post 3679 House Committee Chairman and Events Coordinator Sam Parrish. “I sent out 480 postcards to Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia inviting them to the car show.”
Motorcycles, trucks, tractors and antique cars will vie for 25 top awards, seven special trophies and first, second and third place trophies. Raffles, door prizes and auctions will take place. Certified auctioneer James Burrows will be at the show.
