This Saturday, the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is hosting a tribute event to celebrate the life of Deputy Jason Saunders. The family-oriented car show will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Cross Roads Baptist Church. Spectators can enjoy an array of vehicles, giveaways, vendors, and food trucks while also participating in a document shredding service. Registration costs $20 on-site, with trophies awarded in multiple categories. Proceeds support local charities and goodwill projects.
The event also offers commemorative hats for pre-order. It was established as a lasting tribute to Deputy Saunders, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty in 2007. Through this initiative, the CCSO continues its mission of fostering community safety and engagement.
A Celebration of Vehicles and Community Spirit
The annual car show provides an opportunity for vehicle enthusiasts to showcase their prized possessions while enjoying a day filled with activities. Families are invited to explore various cars, bikes, trucks, and jeeps, all while indulging in food truck delicacies or browsing vendor stalls. Additionally, attendees can participate in a secure document shredding service, adding convenience to the event's offerings.
As part of the festivities, participants may register their vehicles for display on-site for just $20. Winners in each category—bike, truck, car, and jeep—will receive coveted trophies. Pre-registration options are available for both exhibitors and craft vendors seeking reserved spaces. This gathering not only highlights automotive passion but also strengthens bonds within the community through shared experiences and charitable contributions.
Honoring Legacy and Supporting Good Causes
In memory of Deputy Jason Saunders, the car show serves as a meaningful way to honor his dedication to public service. All proceeds generated by the event go toward supporting local charities and initiatives led by the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office. These funds help enhance community programs aimed at reducing crime and promoting safety throughout the county.
Commemorative hats celebrating Deputy Saunders’ legacy are available for pre-order at $25 each, offering another avenue for supporters to contribute. Established over a decade ago following Deputy Saunders' untimely death, this event underscores the importance of remembering those who sacrificed everything in the line of duty. By continuing these efforts annually, the CCSO reinforces its commitment to upholding justice and ensuring that such heroes are never forgotten. Furthermore, it exemplifies how law enforcement agencies can collaborate effectively with communities to create positive change. Through this event, residents have the chance to pay tribute while actively participating in improving their surroundings.
