A main focus of the fund raising is the presentation of scholarships to local high school graduates who are going on to further their education. This year the T.O.T.M Car Show committee was pleased to present the Eileen McPhee Scholarships, totaling $2,700, to Elayna Cramer, Eva Rowe and Crystal Gutierrez, and the Ralph and Vicky Kermode Scholarships, totaling $5,000., to Alanna Bell, Katelyn Neufeld and Kennedie Onufrak.

The Committee wishes to thank the local businesses for their generous donations of funds and merchandise; the participants who bring their beautiful cars and trucks; and to the many people who attend the show from all over the area and contribute to the fund raising.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s show!
