The 7th Annual Veterans Car Show presented by the Down Shifters of Brooklyn is in the History Books!

The show was held on the beautiful grounds of the Bay Pines Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. One of the largest if not the largest car show on the West Coast of Florida was a huge success thanks to people like John Bader, of Advance Auto Parts, Troy & George from Biff Burger and Buffy's Bar-B-Q, Joe Campoli of The Campoli Law Group, Taylor Andrews from Dayton Andrews Dodge, Cars & Rods Car Club, Jerry Mullins from Mullins Concrete Pumping,American- Icon PPG Paint,Gieco Insurance, and Doug Morgan of Manatee-Metro Ice.Lance did the honors of being our Master of Ceremonies, and Flashback provided the music. The biggest thank you is to the participants and spectators. We appreciate your attendance and hope you had a good time. We want you to know that the money raised by this show is given to the Veterans Recreational Fund for use by the veterans who don't get to leave this hospital. You have asked these men to do a job and secure your freedom, they have responded and have given of themselves to accomplish this task. They have served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and now Iraq, they have sacrificed, their families have sacrificed, and today was your opportunity to welcome them home and thank then for a job well done. Well thank them you did as you all dug deep and gave from your heart $17,547.00
