The Annual OX Roast Car Show has been discontinued!
Friends, volunteers, community members and car enthusiasts,
After 19 years of putting on the Ox Roast, Car Truck & Motorcycle Show, we have made the decision to discontinue this event. We realize that many will be disappointed at this news. The family fun and entertainment it has provide for nearly two decades for countless people will be sorely missed. We understand as it has it has been a great source of memories for our church members and families, too.
There are several factors that led to this very difficult decision that we will not disclose publicly at this time. We are not a large church and this event is an enormous undertaking for our congregation. Over the years, this show has grown tremendously while our congregation and it's leadership is aging. Still, we have always considered it a labor of love. It has been a blessing to have reached out to thousands upon thousands of people, to provide a day of free family entertainment, food, and even free amusement rides. We have been touched by countless stories of how families were able to enjoy a weekend of fun, who otherwise could not afford to do something like this. Most of all, we are thankful to have been used by God to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our open air church services. In each service many people, sometimes dozens, made a decision to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord.
Be assured that our decision is not in any way due to any conflict or dissatisfaction with the classic car community or the public in general. We greatly appreciate the incredible support that we have received from classic car owners across the country. We are fully aware, that without the classic cars there would never have been a show. We thank you for making our show the most successful one in its' class, year after year. For all those that have helped or have been helped, we are eternally grateful. Thank you and God bless you.
