The 2026 Washunga Days Car Show brought a variety of classic cars, trucks, motorcycles and specialty entries to Council Grove during the annual community celebration.
Co-coordinators Morton and Sherrie Griggs said the show had 27 entries this year. The number was smaller than in some previous years, they said, because the local show was competing with six other car shows being held the same weekend.
Best in Show honors went to Randy Grossenbacher for his 1935 Plymouth.
Terry Powell of Council Grove also received the Pin-Ups Choice award for his 1955 Chevy Bel-Air.
