Car show organizer and Walmart department manager Krista Wilcutt is preparing once again to hold the Seattle Children’s Hospital Walmart Benefit Car Show — the 16th annual car show to be exact — on Saturday, June 14, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
It will be held in the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter located at 1601 NW Louisiana Ave. in Chehalis.
Wilcutt began organizing the car show to benefit the Seattle Children’s Hospital after being encouraged to do so by the late John Spears, who was also known as the “mopar man” and a regular car show participant. Spears died in 2022.
During the 14th annual Seattle Children’s Hospital Walmart Benefit Car Show in 2023, Wilcutt gave out the best in show award in Spears’ memory, as previously reported by The Chronicle.
Attendees of the 16th annual Seattle Children’s Hospital Walmart Benefit Car Show later this month will once again be able to vote with donations to nominate a car for best in show, and other trophies will be awarded too.
In 2023, a total of $3,066 was raised to donate to the Seattle Children’s Hospital, and last year’s car show brought in $4,380 in donations. Wilcutt hopes to bring in even more this year.
Registration for the 16th annual Seattle Children’s Hospital Walmart Benefit Car Show starts at 8 a.m. the day of the car show and costs $25 per vehicle.
Live musicians will be performing during the car show, which will also feature vendors and a 50/50 raffle.
