We had a great day for the 2026 BASO car show with 52 registered participants. Thank you to our volunteers, the many businesses who donated a total of 45 prizes to give away, our food vendors including the CP Church, Mark & Judi Seeley, Theta Psi Sorority, and Countryside Blessings, our own Young Miss Okaw Valley royalty, and everyone that came out to visit the car show. We hope to see everyone next year!

Food vendors in the pavillion include Bethany Cumberland Presbyterian Church selling pulled pork sandwiches and hot dogs; Mark Seeley selling BBQ and sloppy joes; Countryside Blessings selling a variety of specialty ice creams; and Theta Psi Sorority selling all kinds of delicious desserts! There is plenty of seating in the pavillion and it is shaded too!
We will be selling 50/50 tickets and we have a separate raffle for a garden cart, donated by Agri-Fab.
Car show participants will vote for the top 10 and Best of Show and once again we will vote our favorite entry for the Merle Brown Award.
We have several door prizes to give away to the participants this year and dash plaques for the first 50 to register. And we have added something new for all participants this year!

Hope to see you on the 22nd for an afternoon of great cars, food, music, fellowship and fun!

Save the date!
