In case you missed it, the Les Schwab-Fallon Post 2024 Benefit Car Show on September 8 was a blast. Nearly 50 vehicles were registered, with models dating back over 100 years. The cars covered many decades of hot rods, trucks, muscle cars, and more.
The annual benefit event selected Davey's Entertainment, Davey Munoz's nonprofit, as the recipient of the raised funds. Davey is a local DJ and Master of Ceremony who donates a great deal of time to help host community events. In addition, he serves with Churchill County Search and Rescue and raises funds for Wreaths Across America, honoring deceased veterans during the Christmas season.
