On Saturday, August 27, 2022 at the Okaloosa Technical College in Fort Walton Beach, the Building Industry Association will host the first annual Hammers and Hotrods Car Show.

  • 8 a.m. Registration for Car Entries
  • 10 a.m Open to Public

This new event was designed to raise money for the Building Industry Association of Okaloosa & Walton County and to help fund their construction scholarship program for local students entering into trade school. 

“We wanted to think outside of the box and bring something different to the area,” said Jason Carducci, BIA President. “That’s why we are hosting it at Okaloosa Technical College next-door to the BIA because this is where the students will attend school.”

The event is FREE to the public and there is a $35 car registration fee the day of. 

The show already has cars lined up such as:

  • 1966 Chevelle Convertible
  • 1971 Pontiac GTO
  • 1941 Oldsmobile
  • 1929 Ford Street Rod

“There will be huge variety of cars, from old to new, and special interest such as exotic” added Carducci. “There’s 14 categories and we have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards for each category.”

Okaloosa Technical College is located at 1976 Lewis Turner Blvd, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547
