The 5th Annual Jim Kovalo Memorial Car Show is here.

Our dad loved Buicks, loud engines, and good conversations. He was the kind of guy who could talk to anyone and make you feel like you’d known him for years.

This show is our way of honoring that energy, that passion, and that personality. What began as something small has grown because of the amazing community that keeps showing up year after year.

Five years of memories.
Five years of horsepower.
Five years of keeping Dad’s legacy alive.

Let’s make this one the best yet.

Hope to see you guys there!!!!!!

From all of us with the Hoidy Toidy Crew, we would like to wish you and yours many blessings this Christmas season.

UPDATE!!! There may be a few changes to the car show. Stay tuned!

Hey Hoidy Toidy Crew!!! We need your help.
This past Saturday, the valley was shook by the sudden passing of Landon Sawchuk. Landon was a junior at Martins Ferry after spending 3 years at St. John Central Academy.

Landon was a huge car fan, having started take pictures and videos of sports cars and posting them.

There will be a memorial car show on Saturday, October 25 from 12:30-6:30 at the Ohio Valley Mall. I'm not sure where at the mall it will be. As soon as I find out I'll post it here.
