Car enthusiasts and community members looking to support a meaningful cause will have that opportunity on Saturday, April 5, at the Habersham County Fairgrounds near Clarkesville.
The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office is launching its first-ever Shop with a Hero Car & Bike Show, a fundraiser aimed at providing Christmas gifts for local children who might otherwise go without.
The show welcomes all types of vehicles, including imports, muscle cars, classics, antiques, rat rods, trucks, vans, project cars, specialty vehicles, race cars, tractors, golf carts, motorcycles and even bicycles – essentially, anything with wheels, officials said.
Vehicle entry is $25 per participant, while spectators are encouraged to donate as their entry fee.
“We are asking folks who attend to make a donation or to donate a new stuffed animal for entry to the show,” said Lt. Aaron Autry of the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office Community Relations Division. “We don’t want anyone to feel like they can’t attend, but we ask everyone who is able to give what they can, remembering it’s going to help the children and youth of Habersham County this Christmas season.”
The Shop with a Hero Car & Bike Show will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 4235 Toccoa Highway, Clarkesville. Proceeds from the event, along with additional donations, will determine how many children can participate in this year’s Shop with a Hero initiative.
For more details or to support the cause, contact Autry at (706) 809-1293.
