The Hepcat Honeys, a Virginia-based pin-up club focusing on local military and first responders, will also be in attendance to provide pin-up photographs with vehicles. The Bumble Bee Camaro character will also be in attendance.

A same-day 50/50 raffle by Cruisin’ For Heroes will sell tickets with an arm’s length of tickets costing $5, a person’s height for $10, and the length of a person’s car for $20.

In addition, the Rotary Club of Baileys Crossroads will have a 1966 Ford Mustang at the show for a raffle with one ticket costing $25 or five for $100. The drawing for the Mustang will take place on Nov. 11 at the American Legion Post 176 in Springfield.
