Following the success of the second annual Onalaska Volunteer Firefighters Association car show last year, members are preparing for the third annual car show, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 10, with gates opening at 7 a.m. at the Lewis County Fire District 1’s fire house.
The fire house is located at 1733 state Route 508 in Onalaska.
In 2023, the association raised nearly $10,000 before the show had even ended.
The money went to purchase equipment to wash and dry the specialized clothing worn by Lewis County Fire District 1’s firefighters, along with helping fund the association’s scholarships for Onalaska High School seniors and feeding local families during Christmastime.
Fire district volunteer firefighter Oliver Jackson contacted The Chronicle to explain what this year’s car show will be raising money for.
