The Second Annual Bad to the Bone Cars n’ K9s Car Show in Asher on Nov. 16 was a remarkable event that brought together 88 stunning vehicles. Among them was Terry Webb's purple 1932 Ford High Boy, a true classic that added to the allure of the show. This event was not just about cars; it was a fund-raiser and pet adoption drive for Southern Paws Rescue, Inc. The efforts of the participants raised an impressive $2,229 towards veterinarian bills and pet food, showing the power of community support.

Highlighted Vehicles and Their Owners

In addition to Terry Webb's 1932 Ford High Boy, the show featured a 1927 Ford Roadster and a 1926 Ford Rat Rod, both owned by Bill Fleming. These classic cars were a sight to behold, with their timeless designs and impeccable craftsmanship. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the polished chrome to the carefully restored interiors.

Adam Wilson's 1972 Chevy C-10 and Bob Shay's 1965 Buick also stole the show. Adam Wilson was presented with the 2nd Best of Show trophy by Michelle Oakley, the founder and director of Southern Paws Rescue, Inc. Bob Shay, on the other hand, received the Best of Show trophy for his magnificent 1965 Buick. These awards were a testament to the quality and uniqueness of the vehicles on display.

Mayor's Choice and Adoption Opportunities

Southern Paws Rescue, Inc.'s Founder & Director Michelle Oakley, along with Asher Mayor Wesley Culwell, presented the Mayor’s Choice trophy to Jim Sparks for his 1934 Ford Coupe. This recognition added to the excitement of the event and showcased the diverse range of vehicles and talents on show.

Ricardo Rodriguez sponsored two dogs for adoption, including Annie and Scooby. Through Southern Paws Rescue, there were about six dogs and five cats available for adoption, giving potential pet owners the chance to find their furry friends. The Rhodeses also participated in the car show fundraiser, with Nakia and Kya Rhodes operating a radio-controlled Polaris RZR with their Dachshund Ziggy. It was a heartwarming sight to see the family come together for a good cause.

The Grinch posed with Honey, an 8-year-old Chihuahua & Rat Terrier mix available for adoption. Honey is house-trained and gets along well with cats, dogs, and kids.
