🚗🏆 THANK YOU! 🏆🏍️

What an amazing day at the 7th Annual Majestic Pines Car Show! The weather wasn’t in our favor but we dealt with what we were given with quick decisions needing to be made.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out and spent the day with us! Whether you brought a car, Jeep, or motorcycle, stopped by to check out the vehicles, helped behind the scenes, or simply came to support the event — we truly appreciate every one of you! ❤️

We know there are plenty of places you could spend your Sunday, and it means so much that you chose to spend it with us at Majestic Pines.

Congratulations to all of our trophy and specialty award winners! 🏆 And an extra special thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible. Events like this wouldn’t happen without the support of our participants, volunteers, sponsors, friends, family, and community.

7 years and still going strong! We’re already looking forward to next year! 🚘🔥

Thank you again from all of us at
