An eagerly anticipated automotive spectacle is set to captivate central Wisconsin as the Rosholt Car, Truck & Burnout Show makes its return. Taking place on June 7 at the Portage County Fairgrounds, this annual event has grown into a major attraction, drawing hundreds of enthusiasts and showcasing over 750 vehicles. Participants can vie for $3,000 in prize money across various categories, with trophies awarded in every class. The highlight of the day remains the crowd-pleasing burnout competition, which not only entertains but also raises funds for a meaningful cause—the Dream Big Kiddo Event. Registration begins early at 7 a.m., ensuring ample time for attendees to secure their spots before the deadline at 11 a.m.

Beyond the thrilling automotive displays, the event offers an array of family-friendly activities designed to engage visitors of all ages. Attendees will enjoy raffle baskets filled with exciting prizes, delicious food options, creative face-painting sessions, and even a petting zoo for younger guests. This year’s special guest, Emmet Heindel, adds an emotional dimension to the gathering. Diagnosed with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Emmet will attend alongside his family to select his favorite vehicle from the show. In recognition of his choice, the owner of the selected car will receive both financial appreciation and a personalized trophy. Such gestures underscore the community spirit driving the event forward.

Community involvement plays a pivotal role in sustaining local journalism and supporting causes like Emmet's. Through events such as these, individuals come together to foster hope and resilience while celebrating shared passions. Whether through participating in the car show or simply attending to learn more about how they can contribute, everyone contributes to creating lasting impacts within their communities. Should weather conditions prove unfavorable, plans are already in place for a rain date on June 8, ensuring that nothing dampens the excitement of this remarkable occasion.
