The show this year bested our previous best proceeds event in 2022 by 40% and we are extremely proud to announce that we raised just over $70,000 for York County Veterans Outreach to assist our local veterans in need. Thank You for making this 2023 benefit event so memorable as we look forward to the 7th Annual Benefit Car & Bike Show May 25, 2024.

2023 Gran Marshal – Harold ‘Sandy’ Harper
Harold ‘Sandy’ Harper was born on August 11, 1922. He enlisted in the navy in 1942 and left his hometown of Beaver, Pennsylvania. During World War II, Sandy was a nose gunner in a PBY-Catalina patrol bomber in the South Pacific. He was part of VP-81, Black Cats, Polar Bear Squadron and was assigned to the USS Montpelier. During his time in the Pacific, he and his crew were shot down and floated on the wreckage of their plane for three days. Fortunately, an American ship appeared on the horizon and came to their rescue.
After World War II, Sandy was stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and served on the USS Everglades. He left the Navy as a Petty Officer 1st Class in January of 1955. After transitioning to civilian life, Sandy worked for Diebold as a bank lock smith. He and his family would move to York, PA in the early 1960s where Sandy would open his own company, Central Vault Services. Sandy retired from his own business at the age of 87.
Sandy still resides in York County and celebrated his 100th birthday in August of last year. He and his late-wife, Catherine, are the parents of two daughters and have five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. In his free time, Sandy is an avid golfer and a diehard Pittsburgh sports fan.
