Sports : Record Turnout at Dysart’s Car, Truck & Bike Show

Dysart's 23rd annual Car, Truck & Bike Show brought Main Street to life this past Friday, with a record number of entries and visitors. The annual event brought out crowds from across the region to admire a dazzling variety of vehicles and enjoy an evening of classic cars, unique bikes, and community fun.

More than 175 vehicles lined the streets - from beautifully restored classics and eye-catching customs to bikes that turned heads all on their own. Visitors strolled through rows of cars and chatted with vehicle owners while enjoying music and food vendors. All sponsorship and entry money from the car show stays local and the Dysart Chamber of Commerce donates it back to organizations in the Dysart community.

"We're thrilled with this year's turnout," said Nicole Taylor, President of the Dysart Chamber. "It's amazing to see how much this event has grown and how many people come together to make it a success. We're so thankful to everyone - participants, sponsors, volunteers, and visitors - who helped make this year's show one to remember."

Trophies were awarded in several categories, including Best of Show, top motorcycles, best unfinished and the Top 40 voted on by car show registrants.

Planning is already underway for next year's show - and the Dysart Chamber promises it will be even bigger and better.
