Dexter, Missouri - With the weather threatening rain on Saturday morning, the organizers of this years Bearcat "Strut Your Stuff" Car Show were anxious if they needed to cancel.  But with the stage set for the show, community members began to arrive with their classic cars, old relics and tractors to allow the show to go on.

Allen Christian Inc. took on the idea of a car show that would surround the other activities of the 2013 Homecoming Weekend.  Their efforts have certainly led to a lot of fun and a real spark for next years event. 

Allen Christian Inc. was joined in the efforts by the Dexter High School Future Farmers of American, who even brought a few entries of their own.  From tractors to relics to classics, it was fun to enjoy these vehicles stretched out in front of the Southwest Elementary School parking lot.

Brian Dowdy was very excited to be apart of the contest.  His 1978 Ford F-150 pickup (pictured above) is a true classic that won First Place in the Best In Show category.  Brian's truck has a much deeper meaning to him than just a vehicle. 

"This was the truck that my dad owned and I've restored it completely," stated Dowdy at the previous weeks football game in Kennett.  "I think the car show is great idea and I am excited to have been a part of it."

The winners of the Bearcat "Strut Your Stuff" Car Show were:


The talk surrounding the event was that a 2nd Annual was a possibility.  Many of the participants were excited to share the event with other classic car enthusiast and grow the number of entries. 

"We had a great time at the car show," stated Traci Christian.  "I'd like to thank all those that participated and especially the help of the FFA students at Dexter High School."

Allen Christian Inc. will be presenting a donation check to the FFA later this week with the proceeds from the event.
