This year The Union County Timber Cruisers Car Club of La Grande is proud to announce that Internationally recognized automotive artist Dennis Hoyt who now resides in the Grande Ronde Valley, will be creating the 'Participants Favorite' award at this year’s car show. The Car Club has decided to go beyond what is expected for this year’s event and create three truly unique 'one of a kind' sculptures. The winner as judged by the participants will choose his/her favorite of the three sculptures. The remaining two will be offered for sale at the 2014 Pebble Beach AFAS art exhibit. The sculptures will represent the Marques of Ford, GM, and Chrysler. Mr. Hoyt has been a member of the Automotive Fine Arts Society (AFAS) since 1987.



On Sunday morning at 10 a.m. everyone is invited to join together for coffee and donuts at Safeway on Adams before heading home or they can join the Union County Timber Cruisers Car Club for another valley cruise and lunch at a location to be later determined.
