all-volunteer events in the nation and each year approximately 20,000
spectators and participants attend the show. Over the past 20 years an
average of $60,000 is given each year to local charities and the Wheels of

been donated to local community organizations, over 300 scholarships have
been awarded, and hundreds of pints of blood have been given to the Miller-

community support with cars for parades and events, volunteer hours at fire
company, and support for those in need.
