The 30th annual Helper Outlaw Car Show took place on Friday and Saturday. This free family event was presented by the Butch Cassidy Gang Car Club and took place at the Helper City Park.
“I like the car show to be around people and to show off my truck that all my classmates of ’78 had,” said community member Tom Parsen.
Car owners from throughout Utah and neighboring states traveled to Helper to take part in this community event.
“I like to show off a car I built in ’91,” Bill Manchester said.
In addition to the car show on Friday, there was a pin up contest for those over 18 years of age. Saturday featured another show for those under 18.
There were several vendors that served food at the event. Plaques and trophies were given out to the best cars from various sponsors.
