Despite the threatening weather conditions and cooler temps, this year’s 11th Annual Heart of Texas Car Show was a great success. There were quite a few entries this year covering the gamut from classics to more contemporary. All in all, over $1700 in cash prizes were up for grabs for the top five awards (Best of Show, Kids Choice, Best Exterior, Best Interior and Best Engine.) All proceeds raised go to the McCulloch County Child Welfare Board who provides assistance to needy children in McCulloch County.
