During the Sunday event there were gift baskets, raffles and 50/50 opportunities on site plus dash plaques for the 100 show cars.

Continuing “The event on Father’s Day was so special. Unlike last year, the weather was terrific and so many families came to see the wide selection of amazing vehicles at the event and spend the afternoon together. The UnderDog food truck, which is on a modified fire engine, served delicious food and shared a percentage of their proceeds with the Anna Shelter” Orengia related.

On Sunday Custom Audio’s showroom was open and staff members engaged with enthusiasts about the wide variety of 12volt and automotive aftermarket 12volt products available at Custom Audio.

“We were very busy every day during the week following the Car Show. Putting the Custom Audio brand in front of consumers and enthusiasts continues to drive business. We certainly look forward to next year’s event” Orengia concluded.
