OZARK | RICKEY STOKES NEWS
Organizers are inviting owners of cars, trucks and motorcycles from across the Wiregrass to participate in the 2nd Annual Driving Through the Decades Educational Event, scheduled for Friday, May 1, 2026, at DA Smith Middle School in Ozark.
The event is hosted in partnership with BGCA Ozark Southeast Alabama and the Vivian B. Adams School and is designed to highlight the history and evolution of the automotive industry.
Vehicle owners who register will be paired with a local sixth-grade student who will research the vehicle and present information about its history, including details about the decade it was produced and notable events from that time period.
Organizers say the event is meant to be both educational and fun while giving students a hands-on opportunity to learn about automotive history.
Last year’s event drew strong community participation, and organizers hope to make this year’s program even bigger.
Participation is free, and owners of classic or unique vehicles are encouraged to sign up.
