The funds will be used to support their mission of changing the world one child, one community at a time.
We always look forward to Dover Days and are a proud sponsor for the car show,” said Chris Jamison, General Manager for Winner Ford & Hyundai. “The owners go out of their way to bring ‘their babies’ in and give the public a chance to view their pieces of art in metal, leather and fiberglass. Attendees come from all over the Delmarva Peninsula and the region for Dover Days. We really like this event and that the money raised goes to a great cause.”
The Car show is a Participant Judging Event. The top 24 cars are award trophies by popular vote and Best in Show are awarded by popular vote of registered car owners.
