Car, Bike, and Truck Show raises money for Save 2 Base

The 2024 Car, Bike & Truck show was held on Saturday October 12th, at Memorial Park in Sparta. This annual car show is held annually, in support of the Save 2nd Base co-ed softball tournament that is held on the same weekend, but for all three days.
