Vettes for Vets II Car Show and Fundraiser - CANCELED

Jeff"> Jeff News Wednesday April 19, 2023 Last Updated: Thursday July 18, 2024

05/25/2024: the show has been canceled due to lack of sponsorship funds. There is no alternate date. This page will remain until October 27, 2024 and then will be removed.

05/15/2024: Update on the show.

This page has been updated on 07/18/2024 and there will be no more revisions.

Since we had to reschedule the show last year on August 1, 2023 from the original date of October 21, 2023, because the host location wasn't open due to construction delays, the show was moved to October 26th, 2024.

We lost all 5 bands that were scheduled to play as the future date didn't align with their schedules.

With the bands no longer playing, we didn't need the $10,000.00 sponsorship for the 1 day stage rental - but we needed one more sponsorship to cover the rest of the cost of the show.

Since we were not able to get enough sponsors to cover the costs of the show (tried for over a year), the show was not able to go on.
