This year, the Queen Esther Order of the Eastern Star Chapter No. 12 is hosting a vibrant car exhibition event dedicated to raising funds for scholarships. The event will take place on Saturday, May 3, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Majestic Park in Rathdrum. Thanks to the success of last year's event, they managed to expand their scholarship offerings from three to seven $500 awards. This year’s competition offers categories such as best rat rod, best truck, people’s choice, and ladies’ choice, with registration costing $30 per entry. All proceeds will support local students pursuing higher education.

The car show not only celebrates automotive artistry but also serves as a meaningful community initiative aimed at empowering young scholars financially. Participants and spectators alike are encouraged to attend this unique opportunity that combines entertainment and philanthropy.

Raising Funds Through Automotive Excellence

Organized by the Queen Esther Order of the Eastern Star Chapter No. 12, this annual car show brings together enthusiasts who share a passion for automobiles while contributing to an important cause. The event has proven to be a successful platform for increasing financial aid opportunities for deserving students in the area. Last year, the group significantly boosted the number of scholarships awarded due to the generous support received during the car show.

Each category within the competition highlights different aspects of creativity and craftsmanship in the automotive world. Entrants can showcase their skills through entries like rat rods, trucks, or even appeal to broader audience preferences via people’s choice awards. These diverse categories ensure that all types of vehicles have a chance to shine. With a registration fee of $30, participants contribute directly toward supporting future generations of learners aspiring to achieve academic goals.

A Community Celebration of Cars and Education

Beyond its competitive nature, the car show fosters a spirit of camaraderie among participants and strengthens community bonds. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Majestic Park, attendees enjoy both visual spectacles and opportunities to engage with fellow car lovers. It is clear that this gathering transcends being just another car show; it symbolizes unity and generosity within the local population.

Spectators are invited to explore various exhibits, vote for their favorite picks if eligible, and learn more about how these efforts translate into tangible benefits for students. By combining aesthetic appreciation with charitable intent, the event exemplifies how shared interests can drive impactful change. Whether you're there to compete, observe, or simply celebrate the fusion of automotive culture and educational aspirations, everyone plays a role in making this day memorable.
