What happens when a beloved local event undergoes significant changes but still manages to captivate thousands? Join us as we sit down with Ken Gutierrez, president of the Riverside East Rotary Club, and Finn Comer, the dynamic co-chair of the Show and Go fundraiser, to explore the fascinating evolution of Riverside's iconic car show. From its beginnings as a three-day event complete with drag races to its current format of a vibrant one-day show and live cruise through downtown, Ken and Finn share the highs, the hurdles, and the heartfelt moments that have defined this community staple since 1998.
The secret sauce behind Show and Go's enduring success lies in its incredible community support, and no one knows this better than our guests. In this episode, you’ll hear about the powerful partnerships with organizations like Teen Challenge, Riverside Community College, and Lincoln High School, which fuel the event’s logistics and spirit. Discover how you can get involved, whether through volunteering, attending Rotary meetings, or sponsoring this remarkable event that unites car enthusiasts and community supporters alike. Mark your calendars for the first Saturday in May and prepare to be inspired by the stories of dedication and teamwork that make Show and Go an annual celebration not to be missed.
