Scott's Charity Car Show Raises $20k for DeWitt County 4-H Fair Association

If you're looking for one of the best Central Illinois car shows this fall, mark your calendar for Saturday, Sept. 27. Baum Chevrolet Buick will host the 20th Annual Scott's Charity Car Show, bringing together hundreds of classic cars, trucks, Jeeps, Corvettes, street rods, and custom vehicles—all while raising money for an important DeWitt, Macon, & DeWitt County community project. Held at Baum Chevrolet Buick in Clinton, the annual event has become a favorite tradition for car enthusiasts and families alike. More than 250 vehicles participated last year, and we expect another outstanding turnout in 2026! Every Registration Helps Local 4-H Youth This year's Scott's Charity Car Show will benefit the DeWitt County 4-H Fair Association's arena covering project, helping provide improved facilities for local youth, agriculture, and community events. The planned 80-foot by 160-foot covered arena will: Protect poultry and rabbit exhibits during the annual fair. Provide a covered riding arena for horse shows. Expand opportunities for 4-H members and youth organizations throughout the year. Improve the fairgrounds for future generations. The DeWitt County 4-H Fair Association maintains the fairgrounds at 7564 Business 51 in Clinton, home to the annual DeWitt, Macon & Piatt County 4-H Fair and numerous livestock and horse shows. The project has been a goal of the fair board since the early 2000s and carries special significance for the Baum family. Stephen Baum was volunteering in the arena that will soon be covered when he unexpectedly passed away in 2003. Today, the fair board is working to raise the final $80,000 needed to complete the approximately $200,000 project, with construction expected this fall.

Super Cruise is available on over 600,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada. In Central Illinois, you might be surprised to know that Highway 51 between Bloomington and Decatur, Highway 54 between Springfield and Farmer City, and even Rt. 10 between Lincoln and Champaign-Urbana are all Super Cruise mapped! That means even your everyday drives around downstate Illinois are ready for comfort and convenience. How Super Cruise works Sensors, cameras, computers, GPS data and precision maps are all a piece of the Super Cruise puzzle. These technologies make it possible for drivers to remove their hands from the wheel under specific conditions. Speed/Distance: Using technology from Adaptive Cruise Control features, Super Cruise adjusts the vehicle’s speed to maintain a set following distance from the vehicle ahead. GM’s Driver Attention System helps make sure the driver is attentive to the road, with eyes open, ready to take control if needed. If the system detects an inattentive driver, a series of alerts kick in. Safety features: If the driver can’t or doesn’t take control, Super Cruise will slow the vehicle to a controlled stop, turn on the hazard lights, and dispatch OnStar to bring assistance to the driver. Lane-changing: To pass a slower vehicle or get out of a lane that’s coming to an end, Super Cruise technology can initiate a lane change. Collaborative driver experience: Drivers can steer the vehicle normally if, for example, there’s a pothole to avoid in the lane of travel. When the driver ends guidance, Super Cruise will automatically resume steering. Super Cruise will also slow down or stop for traffic. Activating and Using Super Cruise on Equipped Vehicles Super Cruise is activated by using the button on the steering wheel of equipped vehicles. A brief explanation of Super Cruise color coding: White: When Super Cruise detects a compatible road and all driving and driver conditions are met, Super Cruise symbol will illuminate white on the instrument cluster. Green: After it is engaged and the steering wheel lights up in green, Super Cruise is in control. To turn off, press the Super Cruise button again or press the brake pedal. Blue: If the steering wheel flashes blue, it means the driver is steering. Red: If the steering wheel flashes red, the driver should take over steering. Super Cruise might not be able to see the road markings due to weather or construction, or the driver might not be looking at the road. Super Cruise for Trailering Super Cruise also offers Hands-Free Trailering on select vehicles. When you hitch a trailer to the vehicle, Super Cruise adjusts for the size, weight, and turning radius of your trailer, giving you hands-free comfort no matter what you’re pulling. Automatic Lane Change and Lane Change on Demand are not available while trailering. This is a summary of features. Please see full details and FAQs on Buick’s Super Cruise webpage or Chevrolet’s Super Cruise webpage. Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise. Do not use a hand-held device. Requires active Super Cruise plan or trial. Terms apply.
