​The 10th annual Relay For Life car show and craft festival drew a large crowd to the Brownsville square on Saturday, July 22, 2017. Eighty-one cars registered for the show and the craft fair featured over two dozen vendors.

The concessions team served food and refreshments which included hamburgers, hot dogs, BBQ donated from Walden's, peach cobbler, fudge, and sweet tea and vendors were set up outside and in the community center. There was an array of items such as boutique clothing, custom door hangers, and jewelry. An auction of donated items took place before the awards began. Miss Relay, Alexas Engel handed out plaques to top 40 winners and trophies to the top 15 best.

All proceeds from this event will benefit Relay For Life which added up to over $5,000. Event coordinator Richie Jones, owner of Jones Custom Creations said he was pleased with the event.

"There are so many people we thank for this great event and we'll announce the entire list soon," he said.
