The day’s events will include something for everyone and will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The first 200 cars will receive customized dash plates, and the cost per car is only $15. DJ Scotty G and Soundwave Entertainment will be providing music during the day, and the emcee will be Angelica Trinone of Gold and Blue Nation. Angelica lost her grandmother to pancreatic cancer.

During the day, the Lewis County High School cheerleaders will be providing activities for children, including face painting. Coach Catie Nichols lost her mom, Beth Nichols, to pancreatic cancer. There will be raffles, door prizes, and trivia contests throughout the day.  Auctioneer Aaron Harris will conduct a live auction as well.
