An exciting gathering for automotive aficionados is set to take place this Saturday, bringing together a diverse range of vehicles in a vibrant showcase. The event, known as the "Beauties and Beaters" Car Show, will be hosted by the Bedford First Church of God from early morning until early afternoon. Located at 3131 16th Street in Bedford, the venue promises to attract visitors eager to explore an eclectic mix of transportation styles.

The exhibition will include everything from vintage classics to contemporary models, rat rods, rugged Jeeps, and sleek motorcycles. Participants wishing to enter their vehicles can do so for a modest fee on the day of the event. Additionally, those looking to sell goods or services have the opportunity to reserve a space for a reasonable charge, with special rates available for food vendors who must also secure their own permits. Setup options are available on the evening prior to the event or early Saturday morning.

Through the passion for cars and community spirit, the proceeds from this event will support two local charitable organizations—Becky’s Place and the Men’s Warming Shelter. These groups play a crucial role in uplifting the community by providing essential assistance to those in need. Events like these not only celebrate automotive culture but also foster a sense of unity and generosity among participants and spectators alike, making them a cornerstone of local life.
