CARS of Palestine crown People's Choice winners
Oct. 25—CARS of Palestine hosted its 37th Annual People's Choice Car Show on what turned out to be a beautiful Saturday during the 2022 Hot Pepper Festival.
Club Director Melissa Broughton noted that there were a lot of new faces during this year's event.
"We had several first time participants in our show," Broughton said. "It was great to see new faces enjoying our love of all things cars."
The event included a new category for 2022, the Kids Choice award, sponsored by Summit Racing. The category allowed kids the opportunity to view all the entries and choose their favorite.
"It was so fun to watch the kids with their ballots casting their votes," Broughton said. "Robert Blackwell with his 1964 Impala SS was the kids favorite. It was a big day for him as he took home his first two trophies ever."
