Vehicles in all shapes, sizes, makes, and models.
麻豆精选鈥檚 city park was taken over by wheels June 19 for the annual Boyd Father鈥檚 Day Car Show.
Owner of Boyd Autobody and Glass in 麻豆精选 Methal Abougoush says the show has been running for 20 years.
鈥淚鈥檓 going to say about 450 to 500 cars. 2019 we had like 600, but we had torrential downpour this morning,鈥� Abougoush said. 鈥淗onestly, there was a point this morning where I was like no one is coming.鈥�
The rain didn鈥檛 stop people from showing up and enjoying fun for the whole family, like raffles, face painting, live music, and a bouncy house.
But ultimately, Abougoush said the event was created with dad in mind.
鈥淔ather鈥檚 Day would just seem to be such a natural thing of things we would do together鈥� My daughter is 20 and she knows no different than the car show, so her entire life she鈥檚 been working the car show with me. So, our father鈥檚 day is working together to give back.鈥�
The event fundraised to support the Child Advocacy Centre.
Abougoush says on just the car raffle alone they raised $61,000 and expects the overall total to be around $150,000.
One thing different about this year鈥檚 event, Abougoush noted, is how they powered the stage.
鈥淥ur stage, that has been playing all day long today, is powered by a brand new F150 Ford Lightening pick-up. So, the entire power for that band is running off of that electric truck which is super cool. And it鈥檚 a sharp looking truck.鈥�
From the 麻豆精选 team, we wish you a Happy Father鈥檚 Day.
