  The Seabreeze Church of Huntington Beach, CA sponsors this unusual event. The Event Coordinator, Sam McMillen said, “The theme is to showcase local cars, trucks, and merchants.” Along with great weather, the 125 participants and 40+ vendors enjoyed goody bags, T-shirt, live music, very unique trophies in 17 categories, great food, and more prizes from local merchants. The kids enjoyed (at the other end of the grounds) bounce houses as well as reptiles (from Prehistoric Pets) and exotic animals (from Forever Wild) to see, pet, and handle.  This was a very comfortable family oriented show. I’m looking forward to next year. 

Thanks for the Show!
