Car show revs up community support
By TAMMY MALGESINI
Community Editor
It’s time to rev up your
engines, as the Automobile
Club of Echo High School
is hosting its annual car
show.
Just over a decade ago, a
handful of students showed
off their vehicles lining
the sidewalk at Echo High
School. Now approaching
its 11th year, the car show
attracted 174 entries last
year.
“Every year it keeps
getting bigger, “ said Rick
Denning, who got involved
with the event in 2011. “I
hope we don’t run out of
room.”
The show moved from
the school’s football fi eld
to downtown Echo sever-
al years ago. In addition to
cars, trucks and motorcycles
on display, the event has ex-
panded to include fundrais-
ers by the school’s football
and volleyball teams.
The A.C.E. Car Show
is Saturday, May 28, from
noon to 5 p.m. in down-
town Echo. Vehicle regis-
tration begins at 10 a.m.
The vehicle entry fee is $20
or $5 for students.
The football team will
offer barbecued hamburg-
ers and hot dogs. And, the
volleyball team will have
an Italian soda bar and a
50-50 raffl e.

community and local busi-
nesses is huge,” Denning
said. “It’s a boost for Echo
all the way around.”
Denning initially got
involved with the car club
when his children were in
school. He continues to help
as a way to give back to the
community. A mechanic by
trade, Denning said it’s im-
portant to provide support
to the students.
“When kids are inter-
ested in something, there
needs to be an avenue to
follow-through with their
interests,” he said.
Each year, members of
the club talk about what
they want to do with mon-
ey raised. Over the years
Denning said students have
attended drag races, mon-
ster truck races and the
Portland Roadster Show. In
addition, they have worked
on student cars, as well as
purchasing and working on
a project car.
Denning said one of the
big draws among car show
participants are the cus-
tom-made trophies. Cre-
“I fi gured why not take
care of both at the same
time,” I told them. “Heck, if
I could get another surgeon
in there I’d have a colonos-
copy, too.”

Two-for-one specials not always the best deal DIRECTORY
I
’m a bargain shopper. I
mean, who doesn’t like
two-for-one specials?
In spite of how practical it
may sound to have two sur-
gical procedures done at the
same time — think twice be-
fore doing it.
I fi gured since I was be-

I might as well get my hand

about my upcoming surgery,
they responded with dismay.
