Message from the President Jul 2024
Fellow Pushrodders,
The Pushrods of Hoquiam’s 2024 events are just about completed. Looking back, we’ve had an aggressive agenda and a very busy year!
Just consider what we’ve accomplished:
- February: Our annual charity auction.
- April: The spaghetti feed for the local car community.
- May: Our Tractor Supply car show.
- June: Our first-ever cruise-in to Seabrook.
- June: Our signature event, Hot Rods in Hoquiam!
That’s quite a lineup for one club!
The Pushrods Are Making a Name for Themselves
I’m beginning to receive calls from people interested in using the club to help promote their businesses and events.
That’s a pretty good indication of the reputation we’ve built. Organizations and businesses recognize that the Pushrods are a respected community organization and that partnering with us can help bring people through their doors.
We’ve become an organization that people want associated with their events. That’s something we should all be proud of!
Thank You, Seabrook!
Seabrook has become a great partner for the Pushrods.
They provided us with an opportunity to participate in their Father’s Day event and generously donated a major prize for our Hot Rods in Hoquiam show, valued at approximately $700–$1,000.
That’s a tremendous contribution, and we appreciate their support and partnership.
Our Seabrook cruise-in brought out 14 Pushrod members with their cars, along with another eight or nine outside cars.
Unfortunately, the weather forecast scared off some folks because of the threat of rain. As it turned out, the weather wasn’t nearly as bad as we expected.
If you stayed home, you missed out!
Time to Take a Little Break
Our next business meeting will be July 10.
There will be no Pushrod board meeting this month.
It’s time to slow down a little, catch up on those house projects, and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation after a very busy first half of the year.
But don’t forget our annual Pushrod picnic!

See you down the road!
