What an incredible day! Our 1st Annual Antique Car Show at Salem Park was a fantastic success, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We welcomed 75 beautiful antique and classic cars and almost 200 spectators who came out to enjoy the sunshine, the chrome, and the amazing community spirit. The park was full of excitement from start to finish.

We were proud to present the following awards this afternoon:

🏆 People’s Choice Award
Gordon Sample — 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

🏆 Participant’s Choice Award
Tim & Linda Dunham — 1969 Pontiac Beaumont

🏆 Title Sponsor’s Choice Award
Dave & Bev Clark — 1955 Chevrolet 150

🏆 President’s Choice Award
Mike Cheverie — 1970 Chevelle

🏆 Oldest Antique Car Award
Glenn Roy — 1928 Oldsmobile Coupe

A heartfelt thank‑you to our Title Sponsor, Herron Chevrolet Buick GMC, for their generous support and hands‑on help at the show today. Your partnership means so much to our community!
We also want to extend a huge thank‑you to our Emcee, Wayne Schnare, for keeping the crowd engaged and the event running smoothly, and to Kevin Webb for providing excellent audio support throughout the day. Thank‑you to The Boneyard food truck for serving up delicious food all day — you kept everyone happy and well fed.
To our incredible volunteers - those who parked cars, sold 50/50 tickets, organized prizes, and kept everything running smoothly - thank you. And to all the businesses and community members who donated prizes, your generosity helped make today special.

Finally, thank you to everyone who attended and helped make our first year such a success. We’re already excited for next year.

See you in 2027!

Yesterday’s Music in the Park was everything we hoped it would be - incredible music, amazing people, and a whole lot of community spirit!

Local fiddlers Katey Aucoin and Amelia Parker kicked things off with a fantastic performance, and The Gordon Tucker Band kept the crowd smiling right through the afternoon. Hats off to the West River Fire Dept, who volunteered their time and served up a great BBQ for all in attendance.

Our silent auction tables were overflowing thanks to generous donors, and a huge thank‑you to our main event sponsor, Affinity Wind Farms for helping to make the fundraiser possible.

All proceeds from the event will go directly toward park improvement projects, and we appreciate the strong support shown throughout the day.

And now… we’re gearing up for the next big one - August 22nd - our 1st Annual Antique Car Show at Salem Park!
Mark your calendars - details coming soon. 😁
