The Wheels of Hope Car Show on Saturday, June 21, in downtown Great Bend is a benefit for the Great Bend chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.

The show will be on Lakin Ave. between Main Street and Kansas Ave. Preregistration opens at 8 a.m. and the show opens at 10 a.m. Awards will be presented at 2 p.m., followed by a cruise at 3 p.m.

Registration at the event is $25 per vehicle, non-refundable.

This family-friendly event will showcase a stunning variety of classic cars, muscle cars and custom builds – all while raising awareness and support for those impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. Car enthusiasts from near and far are invited to gather, share their passion and compete for awards including Best of Show, Top 15 and the People’s Choice award which the general public will get to vote for their choice.

Bradley Heine and Deklyn Craven, both members of the Shifters Car Club and the Alzheimer’s committee, have organized this event.

“This is our first-ever Car Show and we are super excited to be able to partner with the Shifter’s Car Club to create awareness about the services the Alzheimer’s Association provides locally,” a statement from sponsors read. “Additionally, Alzheimer’s volunteers Pamela Perry and Laura Fuzzell will be running a bake sale with cookies that resemble the flowers of the Promise Garden and we will have a raffle with prizes from Glazer’s Spirits, Magna Dry, Delgado’s and Rich’s NAPA. Proceeds from the event will fund the 24/7 hotline, educational programs, the caregiver support groups and other resources provided free of charge for those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and or forms of dementia in the Great Bend area.
