Fokis on Fire IV
A great show for a good cause!
Sunday, July 26th sure was a hot day in Massillon, Ohio. With local temperatures in the mid-80s, and crazy humidity to back it up, Ohio's sticky summer heat kept most people locked up in the air conditioning. But those brave souls who went out to endure the heat were greeted with a wonderful sight, the fourth annual Fokis on Fire Benefit Car Show and Chicken BBQ.
Put on annually by local auto enthusiast club Fokis Performance Group, the car, truck and motorcycle show raises money for the local hose jockeys, with all proceeds going directly to the Richville, OH Volunteer Fire Department.
The show was jam packed with all sorts of custom rides. Old-school muscle cars, classic cruisers, lifted and lowered full-size and mini-trucks, bikes and even a mid-engined, drag-stip destroyer wearing the sheeps clothing of a pickup truck. Some Stylin' Trucks staffers were there too, showing their rides and having a blast. Our own Joe Wagner entered the Hug Chug but was eliminated in the first round, suffering an embarrasing defeat at the hands of an eight-year-old.
Other special things going on were a mid-day rain storm, the local Wal-Mart having baby formula on sale, and the Fokis on Fire show staffers giving away a large assortment of door prizes, including an air compressor, tool sets, neon kits and seat and motorcycle covers. One Stylin' staffer even saw a horse standing in someone's backyard. "It was wild, man. This big brown horse, just standin' there. Then the thing looked at me."
