The HiWay Rodders Car Club has been part of the Perryville community since 1979, when a group of local car enthusiasts formed the organization to celebrate and preserve classic cars, street rods, and custom vehicles. Over the years, the club has combined its passion for automobiles with community service, supporting local charities and encouraging young people to pursue automotive careers. The HiWay Rodders are best known locally for organizing the annual Mayfest Car Show, a longtime tradition that draws car owners and spectators from across the region.
