MOHAVE COUNTY – The Mohave County Sheriff’s K-9 Foundation will be hosting the K-9 Car Show on Sunday, Nov. 4 at the Mohave Market Place, 5480 Highway 95, in Fort Mohave.

All proceeds from the car show will benefit the Mohave County Sheriff’s K-9 Foundation and will be utilized to support the MCSO K-9 Program.

If car dealerships have a vehicle or vehicles they would like to highlight, we’ll accept their entries too.”

Cost of an entry is $25 per vehicle and the first 125 entries will receive a special participation license plate and goodie bag.

There will be special awards presented including Sheriff’s, Mohave Market Place, Fire Department, and Jerry Lakin picks.
