Two Packed Days of “Fun With Cars”
Stephanie also coordinated a Quilt Display. Diggs Rod Shop from Oskaloosa, Iowa, was this year’s “Spotlight Builder.” On Friday and Saturday “3 Day Rain” entertained with live music to complement Nick Donovan’s “Rockin’ Road Show.” Sanderson Headers, Yogi’s, Visit Quad Cities and Renee Kaulfuss hosted a Ladies Tea and Games were available thanks to The Rusty Nutz. Kat Hollister, aka Holly Rose, rounded up a bevy of contestants for the Pin-Up Girl Contest and Robert Surdez held a Model Car Contest. Donation dollars were raised for local humane societies by the pinstriping talents of Jim Hetzler, Bill Foust, Mark “Fat Daddy” Hagstrom and Chris “D Painter” Glembin. Keith Krogmeier and Kirby Moon helped set up the event site and coordinated the Streets of Rods. A breakdown of the Safety Inspections included 40 pre-’49 and 39 late-models (post-’48) with 38 Safety Team members from seven states working alongside West Central Safety Chief Rich Redix and his wife Connie. As the rodders exited the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds they seemed thrilled with two full days of rodding nirvana, and we hope they’ll share the experience with their family and friends in 2026.
