Rustemberfest Car Show

06/24/2026

Hi, I am writing to inform everyone that I am no longer able to continue Rustemberfest Car show.

Since the passing of Jeff Budin I lost something along the way that I haven't been able to recover. Losing him took a chunk of me with it and I haven't been able to bring it back no matter how hard I have tried.

There is a list a MILE long of all the people to thank. The support from all the car clubs, friends and family members has been immense. There were ups and downs and some of that came at a price. Having children changed a lot of things for me and the time I spend with them is just way more important than anything else I have going on.

I will keep this page open for awhile if anyone would like to share some memories or photos.

It is just time for me to start a new chapter and close this book.

Thank you ALL for your support over the last decade.

I hope to bump into some of you out in the Wild.

Later!
