Cruising Down Memory Lane

The 2024 Jones County Heritage Festival’s Danny Heath Memorial Car, Truck, and Jeep Show took place on Saturday, September 28th. Thirty-two registered entrants participated in the People’s Choice judging, showcasing 18 amazing classes of classic, late model, original, pro-modded, custom, and factory-built cars and trucks. The car show registration fee was divided evenly among three categories of People’s Choice award winners. Attendees were asked to vote for their three favorite cars/trucks. The winners were James Selzer with a 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air Pro-mod, Buddy Miller with a 1948 F1 Ford Truck custom, and Chad Rakes with his Special Interest 1923 Rat Rod, a home-built creation that garnered the highest number of votes.

The 2024 Danny Heath Memorial Committee extends a heartfelt thank you to all participants and looks forward to another year of great weather and festivities for the 2025 show.
