An eagerly anticipated annual event, the Cars, Cigars and Guitars car show, is scheduled to take place on August 16 in Cheyenne. This year, the proceeds from the event will support four newly selected local charities. The car show has gained prominence over the years, raising over $300,000 in the past five editions. Funds raised have been distributed among various eligible organizations that contribute significantly to community welfare. With national television coverage by Lokar Car Shows and strong backing from Premier Sponsor Sam Runyan/Charles Schwab, this gathering promises to be another resounding success.
This year’s beneficiaries include CASA, Habitat for Humanity, Rooted in Cheyenne, and Veterans Rock, all chosen after a thorough review process of numerous applicants. These organizations focus on diverse areas such as supporting children in court, providing affordable housing, enhancing urban green spaces, and uplifting veterans through music therapy. The event offers multiple ways for participants and spectators alike to contribute, including purchasing raffle tickets for a chance to win a 2023 CFMoto UForce 1000 XL.
Car registration is now live online, inviting enthusiasts from across the region to showcase their prized vehicles. The event's founder, Tim Joannides, expressed gratitude towards the community, volunteers, sponsors, and car owners who have played pivotal roles in making this event impactful. He highlighted the importance of these partnerships in ensuring that the funds raised continue to benefit local causes.
The car show will unfold at Frontier Park Exhibition Hall, located at 1312 West 8th Avenue in Cheyenne, running from 3 to 8 p.m. Attendees can also participate in the Recreation Side by Side raffle, generously donated by Cheyenne Motorsports.
