Canyon Lake Car Show
Thank you to everyone who attended the 17th annual Canyon Lake Car Show! The Canyon Lake Car Club and the Canyon Lake POA hosted this free community event, offering spectators a day to explore and appreciate hundreds of vehicles featuring classic designs that have stood the test of time, as well as modern specialty cars.
Car Show Donations
The Car Show is a non-profit 501(c)(3) event, with proceeds donated to two commendable local charities: Project T.O.U.C.H. and Helping Hands. Moreover, the Canyon Lake Car Show organized a special "Put a Jar in your Car" peanut butter drive. The Canyon Lake Car Club aimed to collect jars of peanut butter for Helping Hands. As the most requested food item, peanut butter is vital in assisting local families and seniors in need, making a meaningful impact within the community. Every jar collected during the event will be donated locally, supporting this noble cause. The club asked everyone who participated and attended this fun event to bring a jar of peanut butter to their club booth!
