The 2026 Ada VFW Park in the Park car, truck and motorcycle show returned to War Memorial Park on July 11 for a celebration of vehicles and those who have served in the U.S. military. Organizer J.D. Fleece notes that unpredictable weather kept a few entries away. Even so, there were 99 entries displayed in the leafy lanes of The Grove.
The event is made possible by a large number of volunteers and supporters including judges Jerry Springer, Mike “Mr. Brick” Cooper, Dick Miller, Eric Flowers and Mark Obenour.
