Save the date and plan to head to the Beaver Dam Park Amphitheater for a fun day for the entire family. Last year the attendance record was set with close to 400 cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Let's beat the record this year. The Beaver Dam Cruise-In is set for Saturday, May 25th, 2024. This one-day automotive event will be something special. This year they're adding a vintage bicycle show to the event!

The Bike show is back this year hosted by Ky. Hawg Mafia. There's a cash prize for the best in the show.

DYNO CHALLENGE

Get ready to rev up those engines for the Dyno Challenge with a cash payout at stake. Do you have the most horsepower under the hood? Will you walk away with the cash and braggin' rights? I love the roar of the engines and hanging out with fellow classic car enthusiasts. It's so much fun!

BEAVER DAM CRUISE-IN HELPS THE COMMUNITY

The Beaver Dam Cruise-In helps the community in a very big way.

We were able to present a $5000.00 donation to the Ohio County Vocational School Auto Mechanics class. When Beaver Dam Cruise In started almost 10 years ago this was the goal to give back to our community. This donation will buy much-needed tools for auto mechanics students so they can learn a trade and possibly a career in the industry.

Beaver Dam Cruise-In presented a $700.00 donation to Boy Scout Troop 173 yesterday. They will be able to use to money to help send kids to camp and other activities.

The event will feature all years, makes, and models of the hottest classic cars, trucks, and bikes in the tri-state. This is an annual tradition after all. Plan on bringing the entire family a day of classic cars, bikes, trucks, great food, music, prizes, activities, and more! I'll see you there.
