Join us next year July 20th, 21st, & 22nd for a great car show, featuring over 7,000 cars, and our panel charity auction. Participate in the panel jam by pin striping a panel each day and putting it up for auction. This is a charity event with ALL of the auctions proceeds benefiting the McMahon/Ryan House - for the benefit of abused children.

Ray and Erin Evernham of Ray Evernham Enterprises under their Evernham Family Racing For A Reason Foundation.

If you follow NASCAR Racing you know that Ray Evernham was the championship winning crew chief for Jeff Gordon, and then owner of the Dodge Factory Racing Team, along with being a race announcer for ESPN. His wife Erin is a winner in her own right holding numerous track records in quarter midget and sprint car racing. She is a member of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. Thanks to their participation, we can still offer the free night accommodation to ALL attending pinstripers. Ray and Erin plan to make an appearance at Artie's Party this year if their schedule allows.

This year there will be a lot of great items up for auction. Including Custom Painted pedal cars and a lot of other really cool stuff.

In our building, the finalists for the Winfield Award will be on display again. This includes 12 custom built cars that Gene Winfield has hand chosen to compete for the award and a $5,000 cash prize.

And I mean that literally, thanks to Trane Corporation. They have committed to installing 10,000 BTU air conditioning units all around the party area. Short of putting ice cubes in your pants, we can't get any cooler than that!

GREAT NEWS: JaXsun Supply LLC., a great new sign supply company in Bethlehem, PA has signed on as an associate sponsor for the party. They will be on hand displaying their product line and will also supply us with One-Shot paint for the weekend.

Also on hand Badger Air Brush is sponsoring Art Alvarez, Air Brushing T-Shirts for the auction. Art started career air brushing shirts for 'Big Daddy' Roth and went on to be art director for Disney.

As you can see we have a lot going on which should bring a large crowd in for the auctions. Hopefully we'll raise a lot of money for the McMahon/Ryan House.

Once again the REAL Artie's Party, sponsored by Xcaliber Corporation will be on Friday night. Returning this year to entertain us is the band Donna Colton and the Troublemakers! If you were here last year, you will remember their great sound, but if you need a reminder, be sure to visit their MySpace page. or check out their YouTube videos.
