Brent Strohmeyer
Memorial Car Show
Brent Strohmeyer (son of Russ and Margie Strohmeyer) of Stayton, OR, died at the age of 20 years as a passenger in an auto accident on September 6, 2001. He was very active in the automotive hobby and loved attending car shows and cruise-ins in his Hugger Orange '69' Chevelle.
Brent enjoyed working on cars and continually strove to learn more and improve his automotive skills. He was a gifted artist and like drawing cars and trucks. His work was featured on car show t-shirts and posters.
Brent believed that classic cars were to be restored, maintained and driven. Not to be neglected, crushed or left to rust away in a field.
Funds for "five" $400.00 scholarships were raised though sponsorship and attendance at the 3rd Annual Brent Strohmeyer Memorial Car Show in Sublimity, Oregon. There were over 200 cars entered in our 2004 show and hundreds of spectators came to view the cars and trucks and pay tribute to Brent.
We will have a display honoring Brent's 20 years of life. Candid photographs of Brent, some samples of his photography and drawings he had won awards with, his Hugger Orange '69' Chevelle (he and his dad built), his V8 S-10 pickup (he built) will be on display.
With the help of our sponsors and the people who love cars we hope to continue this tradition of honoring Brent's life, promoting the automotive hobby and offering scholarships to students to help them continue in their quest of fulfilling an education.
We invite everyone who has the love of cars and trucks to bring your ride, (finished or not), to come and help us celebrate his life.

This is a great event and something close to home for me as I knew both the driver and passenger. Very unfortunate accident. I wish I still lived in the area so I could attend. Who knows, maybe August would be a good time for a road trip...
