In 2022, Aaron Hoyt and Ed Bausman had a vision to create a car show that benefited a charity they were passionate about. Their goal was to design a show that incorporated the best elements from other shows while minimizing aspects that didn't work. The result was "The People's Show," which quickly gained a dedicated following. A 501(c)(3) charity application soon followed, solidifying the show's commitment to giving back.
Car enthusiasts will love the scenic background and photo opportunities at many of these shows. For example, the top 15 cars at a specific event will be handmade by the Greenland FFA and AAMM volunteers. Owners will receive a free lunch with entry to both the show and the other show activities.
