The National Sand Bass Festival Car, Truck & Bike Show, a beloved event that has become a tradition for many, celebrated another successful year. Founded in 1993 by Roy Bridgeman, the show has grown into a staple of the festival, drawing participants and spectators from all over.
This year marked a significant milestone, with 116 impressive registrations competing for top honors.
The show is not just a community event but a family legacy. As the founder's daughter, I have had the privilege of witnessing its growth firsthand. Now at 43, I am proud to see my 15-year-oldson,PaxtonJohnson, continue this tradition, having attended every show since he was born. Our family's connection to this event is a testament to its enduring appeal and significance.
