We’re excited to host a silent auction featuring five one-of-a-kind pedal cars, customized by local shops with unique paint jobs, interiors, and wheels — each turned into a true "hot rod!"

All proceeds will benefit Angel House, a local safe house providing care and support for children in crisis.

Don't miss your chance to own a standout piece — perfect for your man cave, business, or as a special gift for a grandchild.

Silent auction bid sheets will be located near the stage with the pedal cars. Come place your bid and join the fun for a great cause!
