AROUND TOWN

RockPointe Church hosted its 15th annual Father’s Day car show at the Liberty Hill Campus last month. Car-loving fathers and their families had plenty to rave about with 167 cool rides to admire. “There may have been a little sinning in the church parking lot,” laughed church creative director Adam Stone, “Some were coveting thy neighbors' toys.”

The Dads Gone Wild Car Show is always open to the public and free to attend. This year, more than 1,500 people filled the church's parking lot to celebrate the best of transportation past and present while also celebrating special father figures in their lives.

The event was created to help dads enjoy a well deserved and unforgettable day while also benefiting Bikers Against Child Abuse. BACA is a body of motorcyclists who empower children navigating the justice system as victims of abuse. BACA members provide escort and emotional support to mitigate their young friends' fears and facilitate a safer environment for all. “Every year we raise money through raffles and the proceeds go directly to BACA to help them expand their impact on our community. This year we raised over $1,900,” Adam said.

For non-car lovers, and for more fun, the celebration included plenty of family entertainment—helicopter rides, video game trucks, a rock wall, Nerf gun battles, and more. “It was an amazing sight to see dads having so much fun with their kids,” Adam added.

This car show is held every Father’s Day so whether you’re a dad, a dad with a cool ride or just a guy with a car obsession, follow the Dad’s Gone Wild Car Show Facebook page for updates and registration information.

“At RockPointe Church we are big fans of dads. Over the years the car show has grown in so many different ways but the heart of it remains the same; we just want to show dads some love.” ~Creative Director Adam Stone
