“We have been hosting this event for about seven years now,” Salem Bible Church Pastor Justin Reese says. “It started out as a way to honor fathers on Father's Day and give dads an opportunity to spend quality time with their children at a car show. Since its inception, it has morphed into an outreach to connect with the local car community and still offer a fun family event.” ABOVE: Winner of the newer car category is Dan Quinty with his 2018 Ford Shelby GT 350.
