Dixie Days held their annual Car and Bike Show at the Mermaid Festival fairgrounds this year and named winners in various classes for both cars and motorcycles.

Bike winners include: Audrey Stambaugh, Warsaw, Best Harley — 2005 Heritage Softail Deluxe; Jay Boggs, Mentone, Best Custom — 2005 Road King; John Drummond, Elkhart, Best Vintage — 1996 Triumph and Terry Shumpert, Leesburg, Best Metric/Foreign — 2008 Yamaha Roadster.

Michelle Fisher presents a trophy to John Drummond. Drummond won the Best Vintage class in the bike portion of the show. Drummond purchased his motorcycle in 1968, but before Saturday, he had never won an award for his bike. However, in a turn of events, Drummond won at the Dixie Days Car and Bike Show after he had finalized the bike’s sale that very morning. Drummond was very grateful to the judges and their decision.
