WOOD RIVER – A Jeep show promises plenty of fun while raising money for Partners 4 Pets.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 27, 2026, community members are invited to Pinto’s Kustoms at 1368 Vaughn Road in Wood River for the event. Hosted by Duckin’ Jeepers, the Jeep show doubles as a fundraiser for Partners 4 Pets and will feature over 50 Jeeps, food trucks, snow cones, raffles, a foam party for kids, and more.
“We just want to do something for the community,” said Ginny Sadich, co-founder of Duckin’ Jeepers. “We’ve all been in this area most of our lives. I’ve literally been here for 45 years. We just wanted to give back.”
Jeeps can enter the show for $20 per car. To date, the show has raised $1,250 for Partners 4 Pets, and they hope to increase this number with donations during the event.
Food trucks Pig on a Wing and Klausti’s Kitchen will be onsite serving up meals. Wood River Tropical Sno is located in the Pinto’s Kustoms parking lot and will have snow cones available throughout the day. FoamZees will also host a foam party in the parking lot for kids to enjoy.
There will be an Adopt-a-Duck station where kids can “adopt” a rubber duck for $1 or six for $5. They can then place the ducks on their favorite Jeeps, or take them home.
Partners 4 Pets will also be present with a few dogs who are available for adoption. The Troy-based nonprofit cares for dogs and cats in the Metro East area. They have plenty of animals who need loving homes, and you can support their mission by donating through their official website or Facebook page.
It was important to Sadich, her co-founder Amanda Belcher, and the other members of Duckin’ Jeepers to support Partners 4 Pets. The Duckin’ Jeepers group often hosts fundraisers for local nonprofits or those in need. Giving back to the community is an important part of their mission.
“We’re all about Jeeps and community,” Sadich said. “We wanted to give back to the community, so we picked a charity that was close to a lot of our members’ hearts. Who doesn’t love pets?”
The public is invited to come out to the Jeep show on June 27. It is completely free to attend and enjoy the day. Sadich encourages people to donate to Partners 4 Pets if you can, or just come out and support their mission.
