  • Watkins Car Show
  • Thursday, September 2, 2010 1:06 PM CDT

  • For the past six years, the Stoddard Family has organized and conducted the Watkins Car Show. Dustin Stoddard started the car show, in 2004, to help local families struggling with financial needs, due to medical expenses. This show has aided many, many persons; the survivors of cancer, accidents, organ transplants, and the 2008 floods. Dustin died in a boating accident in 2005, but his family continues the tradition, which keeps Dustin's spirit alive. The 2010 recipients will be Leo Mell of Norway, and Linda McNulty of Watkins.
