THIS IS OUR NINTH ANNUAL WHEELS OF HOPE.
IT'S ACTUALLY OUR 10TH YEAR TO BE IN EXISTENCE, BUT WE TOOK A YEAR OFF FOR COVID AND IT WAS ALWAYS DESIGNED TO BENEFIT THE HOPE CLINIC, WHICH IS A LOCAL GARLAND CHARITY THAT GIVES FREE HEALTHCARE TO OUR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY HERE IN TOWN.
THIS AREA OF THE METROPLEX SEEMS TO BE LOADED WITH GREAT CARS, AND THEY LOVE TO COME OUT AND SUPPORT THIS CAUSE.
THE CHEVY CLASS, THE FORD CLASS, WE, WE JUST HAVE SO MANY EXCELLENT CARS, TRUCKS, AND EVEN OUR SPECIAL INTERESTS WHEN YOU GET INTO THE BARRACUDA, THE PLYMOUTH ROAD RUNNERS, CHALLENGERS, CHARGERS, ET CETERA.
WE JUST SEEM TO BE BLESSED WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE, WITH A LOT OF TALENT.
SO THIS WHEELS OF HOPE EVENT MEANS SO MUCH TO HOPE CLINIC, NOT ONLY, UM, JUST BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE MEDICAL SERVICES FOR THE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY, BUT JUST THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE VOLUNTEER SUPPORT THAT WE GET FOR THE WORK THAT WE DO HERE IN THE COMMUNITY.
BEST OF SHOW CARR THIS YEAR GOES TO GREG PITTMAN CAR NUMBER 23, WHICH IS A 1970 OLD 4 4 2.
I BELIEVE THIS IS, IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO, TO PULL OFF THIS CAR SHOW WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE CITY OF GARLAND.
IT'S BEEN THE GREATEST THING EVER.
FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE THESE BEAUTIFUL, REMODELED DOWNTOWN SQUARE.
THE CITY DOES A LOT, BUT PART OF WHAT WE DO IN ADDITION TO BENEFIT HOPE CLINIC AS WE PROMOTE DOWNTOWN GARLAND, AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM TODAY, WHEN YOU BRING IN FIVE TO 6,000 PEOPLE, SOME OF WHOM HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE, IT OPENS THEIR EYES TO THEIR EYES, TO WHAT A GREAT THING WE HAVE IN DOWNTOWN GARLAND.
