The 24th Annual Father’s Day Car Show was an incredible success, bringing together 200 cars, trucks, and motorcycles, including 165 judged entries, and welcoming more than 2,000 people to the fairgrounds throughout the day.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who brought a vehicle, donated, volunteered, sponsored, worked behind the scenes, or simply came out to support the event. Because of that support, along with spectator donations, the dunk tank, and grant applications to be filed with the Wisconsin Masonic Foundation for matching funds of up to $4,000, we are on track to donate $9,014 back to the community, including $2,014 directly toward scholarships.
We were honored to welcome Grand Master Joseph E. Thompson and his Lady Julie, DD6 Victor Magnus, DD7 Kevin Gruber, DD8 Danny Wolfert, DD12 Matt Konradt, and Wisconsin Masonic Foundation Executive Director Adam Rigden. We were also grateful for the fellowship and support of Brothers from Berlin Lodge No. 38, Freemasons Lodge No. 363, Oshkosh Lodge No. 27, Ozaukee Lodge No. 17, Marshfield Lodge No. 224, Waupaca Lodge No. 123, Wautoma Lodge No. 148, West Allis Lodge No. 291, Wisconsin Rapids Lodge No. 128, James Hayes Lodge No. 331, Lake Lodge No. 189, Widows Sons Keystone Chapter, as well as members of Royal Arch and the Order of the Eastern Star, along with others who joined us in support of the day.
This event continues to be more than just a car show. It is a meaningful opportunity to support students, families, and our community, and its success is possible only because of the generosity, teamwork, and commitment of so many.
