The Gas Capital Car, Truck and Bike Show took place Saturday at the Hugoton City Park. Cars, pickups and motorcycles were on display for the visitors. The weather was perfect for the show with cooler temperatures and a soft breeze.
One of the entries has home ties right here in Hugoton. In 1954 Vallie Burrows, grandmother of Kenny Burrows, bought ten raffle tickets for $1.00 each from Jewel Burrows, Kenny’s mother. The tickets were for a chance to win a 1954 Plymouth Belevedere worth over $2,000. It was a fundraiser for the Stevens County Rest Haven. May 3 the entries were drawn for the grand prize of the Belevdere. The winning ticket was Number 3757 bought by Vallie Burrows of Hugoton. The car has remained in the family through all of the years and is now owned by Kenny.
