The biggest MOPAR-ONLY show in ARKANSAS
Our Story
Our Founding
Our Founding
Our Founding
In 2022, Aaron Hoyt and Ed Bausman had a wild idea to create a car show to benefit a charity they were passionate about, but also wanted to make a show that took the good elements from other shows and minimized those that didn't work to make this the People's Show. A 501(c)(3) charity application followed soon after, and the rest is history!
Our Growth
Our Founding
Our Founding
Over the years, Turpentine Creek Mopar Classic has grown from a medium-sized show with just under 100 cars our inaugural year to well over 100 cars in subsequent years! The donations also increased from year to year: In 2022, the donation was $4000; 2023 saw the donation jump to $7500; 2024 brought in $8000. Where will 2025 lead us?
Our Impact
Our Founding
Our Impact
At Turpentine Creek Mopar Classic, we measure our success by the donations we bring. With the help of dozens of volunteers, hundreds of participants, as well as dozens of vendors and food trucks, we have donated over $20,000 to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in just three years. We have committed $25,000 to the new Freedom Field for a big cat habitat, and with the help we've received so far, we're going to easily exceed that amount! Stay tuned!
Event Highlights
What is it?
The Turpentine Creek Mopar Classic was created as a way to raise funds and awareness for the hard work done by the great people at the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, a non-profit organization that provides lifetime refuge for abandoned, abused, and neglected "big cats". All proceeds from the show will go to the refuge!
We welcome all Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Chrysler, Eagle, AMC, Abarth, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati, Imperial, De Soto, Plymouth, AMX, and even some Lambos! So if you're in that list--bring it to the show!
Registration is $30
MOPARADE
This year, we decided to add a MOPARADE to the weekend's events! If you've every been to Eureka Springs during the summer, you know that parades thru town are one of the biggest parts of the little town's personality! Now, you can bring YOUR Mopar and be a part of the fun! And don't worry--this is for ALL pre-registered participants! If your car can drive, it's in! The parade will begin at the Eureka Springs Community Center parking lot, with police escorting us around to the top of Spring Street, where the real fun begins! We'll weave down Spring St., meeting up with Main St. in downtown, then up Planer Hill and back to the Eureka Springs Community Center to start Friday Night Lights. You must be pre-registered in order to participate, but the MOPOARADE is included with your registration! So dress it up, light it up, or just drive it up--but BE THERE!
Friday Night Lights sponsored by Fasty's Garage
We've got some of the wildest, craziest lighting setups you'll ever see! Underglow, underhood, interior, trunk--some of these lighting installs are absolutely wild! Join us from 7:00-10:00 pm Friday night at the Eureka Springs Community Center, and bring the family! This is an all-ages event that's sure to please the eyes!
Car Show sponsored by Lewis Auto Group
The main show takes place on the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge grounds, with plenty of food trucks, vendors, and sponsors, as well as all of the Mopar metal your eyes can take! The show runs from 9:00am until 3:00pm, with award presentations closing out the day. We'll also have charity auctions and a 50/50 pot! Registration is limited to 150 cars, so get pre-registered! Pre-registration gets you admission to the MOPARADE, a free show T-shirt, and a free 4x6 refrigerator magnet of your entry photo!
