Woodland Park Classic Car Show (Hammond, LA)
  
Comments

For the past four years Woodland Park Baptist Church in Hammond, Louisiana, has hosted a car and crafts show to support its missions ministry and give a showcase to the fine classic cars of the greater Baton Rouge area.

With the help of Terry Phinney, Woodland Park's Associate Pastor of Children and Nations, their college-age campus, the church has hosted the car show four times annually, drawing around forty cars a year. ]FullSizeRender (1)__1432002530_71.81.49.129

Unfortunately, bad weather kept away some of the regulars this year, but the show was still successful even with a slimmer lineup.

The "Draggin' Wagon" was put together by Terry, himself a car enthusiast, for his son Cooper out of spare parts and some imaginative scavenging. Everyone had a great time at the show and some classic cars got the chance to get the admiration they've earned with age. Hopefully next spring more favorable weather will give Woodland Park its fifth and best car show yet.
