6th Annual Car Show Success
Benefits Local Charities

CHEYENNE, WY - The sixth annual charity classic car show, “Cars, Cigars, Guitars – under the stars” was held on August 16, and the event was a tremendous success-raising money for local charities. The car show was a volunteer effort by AHEPA Cowboy Chapter 211 Cheyenne. 

Due to the support of the Premier Underwriter Charles Schwab-Sam Runyan, all of the major underwriters, numerous sponsors and supporters, over $70,000 was raised this year to benefit CASA of Laramie County, Habitat for Humanity of Laramie County, Rooted in Cheyenne, Veterans’ Rock and AHEPA Cowboy Chapter 211 Scholarship fund. 

A major fundraising feature was the raffle of a brand-new 2023 CF Moto UForce 1000 XL (a $17,000 value) which was donated by Cheyenne Motorsports. It was won by Nichole Leibrich of Cheyenne. 

Hundreds of people strolled the grounds at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Exhibition Hall, Cheyenne, Wyoming. People enjoyed viewing the many classic cars, motorcycles and enjoyed cigars, food from local food trucks & beverages, along with live musical entertainment provided by Purple Blues Band and Mr. Byrd & The Perfect Strangers.

This year, the show will be nationally televised several times on the Lokar Car Show on MotorTrend TV and other networks. 



Much success is owed to the large volunteer effort, with volunteers from this year’s benefiting charities and volunteers from the AHEPA Chapter and committee helping with check-in, set up, vendors and hospitality. 

Now firmly established as the premier charity Classic Car show in the Tri State region, the show is “Automotive enthusiasts celebrating the motoring lifestyle and improving the community along the way!” – and they feel that they once again succeeded in their mission this year.
