Admission for spectators is $5, and the vehicle entry fee is $15. Vehicles will be displayed on the grassy area of the fairgrounds. Grant Union student McK- eely Miller, who will be a se- nior next fall, is organizing the event and said the pro- ceeds will support two good causes. Half of the profits will ben- efit Blue Mountain Hospital gas cards for cancer patients who need to drive to Bend or Boise, Idaho, for treatments, and the other half will go to BrightSide Animal Center in Redmond, a nonprofit com- munity shelter for dogs and cats that prioritizes saving the animals. “The donations are very meaningful to me because of my family’s experience with cancer; traveling for treatment can get quite expensive,” Mill- er said. She added, “Animal shel- ters work very hard to rescue and find wonderful homes for animals, so I would like to sup- port that as well.” Some of Miller’s family members plan to bring vehi- cles, and she has also invit- ed local and neighboring car clubs to join the cause. Her father, Jason Miller, is entering his rebuilt Bronco, her grandfather has a recently purchased 2017 Corvette and an uncle will bring a BMW. She contacted the Grant County Kruzers as well as a Porsche club and Corvette club in Bend. Miller said a first-place trophy will be awarded for vehicles in four categories, in- cluding foreign luxury, sports car/muscle car, 4x4 and classic/ antique. “I think it will be a lot of fun for people to come out and sup- port,” she said.
