The Stray Katz Car Show took place in downtown Dewey on Saturday, May 8th, and all proceeds benefitted the Dewey Fire Department.

Dewey Assistant Fire Chief Cody Meade said the fundraiser has a tremendous impact on the fire department's budget. Meade said the coronavirus canceled the car show in 2020, essentially canceling Dewey Fire's largest fundraiser of the year. He said the fundraiser typically brings in $3,500 to $4,000.

Meade said the funds go towards any lifesaving equipment that Dewey Fire's firefighters may need. He said the medical supplies could include things such as an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Just before 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, Meade said the count for cars at the show sat at 501.

Meade said the Stray Katz Car Show has a great impact on the community and they could tell that everyone was happy to return to normal after a rough 2020. He said everyone that came by their table told them that they're happy to see that the car show was back open for business.

$3,000 was raised for the Dewey Fire Department at the Stray Katz Car Show.
