The Road Rebels held their annual Blessing of the Wheels car show on Thursday, getting their cars blessed while contributing to a good cause.

The car show and barbecue that followed the blessing was held to raise money for the Anglican Memorial Camp.

Bishop Rachel Parker said the funding will go toward sending kids to camp for the summer and general improvements.

“It’s a camp that allows kids who couldn’t otherwise go to camp in the summer to have an experience of being on the lake,” she said.

Jim Stewart, a member of the Road Rebels, drove to the barbecue in his white 1968 Buick Wildcat.

“The minister comes and blesses our cars so that we’re safe for the summer,” he said.
