This year, the show will have vendors, bouncy houses, door prizes, food and other entertainment venues.

"We have had as many as 115 cars and trucks," said Bill Miracle, 673d Force Support Squadron Warrior Zone program manager. "Right now our current number of entries for the show is 50, including approximately 25 bikes."

Individuals can enter their car in one of nine categories, or their motorcycles in one of three, free of charge. Classic, custom, sports car, hot rod, muscle car, low rider, antique, military and people's choice are the car categories and custom, classic and sport bike are the motorcycle categories.

Attendees are encouraged to vote for their favorite car or bike. Those entries will also be used in a drawing to win a 50-inch TV.

Food and craft vendors will also be at the show to help raise money for different organizations on JBER, such as Joint Base Against Drunk Driving, Better Opportunities for Single Service Members, the Warrior Zone and other clubs on base.

"It's a great, fun event," Hardin said. "Everything from outside vendors to inside arcades, we have something for every age."
