I(candi)have been thinking on what to say about yesterday. First, I greatly appreciate everyone for coming out. After being rescheduled due to rain,we ended up with a day that turned out hot!!
If you have lived in Arkansas long enough , you know we never know what Mother Nature will throw at us.

What I will say is: This event is all about giving back to the community!! Where do our event proceeds go to? 100% Back to the community!!. Did you know there is families that don't know where their next meal will come from? Did you know that there are kids in the Alma School District that only get to eat at school?
This is why our event proceeds go to the Alma Outreach Center & Jack Snacks . These two 501c3 Non Profits provide food to families & kids who would go hungry if they weren't available.

Now in regards to the Car Show.. the car show registration is $25 did you know that we try to have atleast a little something for a door prize for the car show entrants? Did you know that we also give a discount to those entering more than 1 vehicle into the show? Did you know that we also give discounts on tshirts when you enter a vehicle into the car show? Why?? Because we like to give back to the car show entrants. These things we do not have to do, but we do.

Did you know that our event is ran by volunteers?? Which means No One gets Paid to help!! This is not a job, this is a non profit! We have a passion to do for our community. Yes, I'm (Candi) about to get personal...Hmmm did you know that one of our volunteers had a very unexpected extreme hospital scare with her husband? Did you know that she still showed up to help. Did you know that another of our volunteers got word yesterday about one of her family members and it was not good news. They both helped yesterday.

Did you know that each year we are asked to add other specialty categories... if we find builders, we add that category.. Did you know that all of these Specialty Categories, adds more time during judging. More time making sure each judges sheet is put in the computer correctly.. More time to make sure each vehicle is in their 'Age/Year' Category.. Our event is not an easy, 2 hrs after you register then Trophies are ready to be given out... so to the person who was gripping about it taking so long,about it being unorganized... did you know that one of our Registration ladies still helped out when she should've been with her husband. Did you know that we are all volunteers that do this event for the community.. Volunteer means no one gets paid. Did you know that the exact seat you was sitting in couldve been taking from you because you didn't even ask to sit there meaning it was not your seat.

So for the next person who wants to gripe about things not going exactly how they want, its life!!! You may not hear me say this ever but if you don't like how we give back to the community, how we do everything we can to make sure each car show entrant gets a door prize (which many are more than the $25 registration), please feel free to take your griping else where!! There are plenty other car shows you can attend.

Our event is all about the community and we give more than 100%. I will never mention exactly how much I personally spend on this event! I do not do this event for self recognition. Shoot I don't even like hearing our amazing DJ mention my name. The time I spend putting this event together is beyond belief! I get asked alot on why I do this event each year... its for the community! Its to help those families & to give back.

Last night I was on the verge to not have this event next year.. Next year will be something we heavily talk about and some changes maybe made.. No matter what we do, we will never make everyone happy. I greatly appreciate those who came up to me after everyone left he told me how they enjoyed the event and how they appreciate all we do!

I greatly apologize for getting a little emotional yesterday during awards. Somethings I take to heart and my heart is to give and give. The amount of smiling faces, the amount of people having a good time, the amount of kids enjoying the free area(which would not happen without great sponsors and amazing people who support this event), yall this is why the Volunteers and sponsors do this event!!!

To see everyone come together like they do for this event is amazing!!

Today is Mothers Day so I wish all the Mothers a Happy Mothers Day.. My plan is to pull up the laptop this evening and start posting the Top 75 Winners!! We had over 150 vehicles entered into the car show & Cutie in PowerWheel.

Also, huge thanks to all of the vendors!! We can not be a car & craft show with cars & crafts!. If you took any pictures yesterday, please feel free to share them.
If anyone snapped a picture of the Alma Fire Truck with the American Flag flying, please share it. It was parked by the Alma Skokos Performing Arts Center during the funeral.

Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming out yesterday and being a part of the 7th Airedale Car & Craft Show.
