A sold-out evening, unforgettable stories, and a room full of car lovers gathered for a cause that gives back to Highlands.
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty was proud to sponsor last night’s Happy Hour with Wayne Carini, host of Chasing Classic Cars, Bill Warner, founder of the Amelia Island Concours, and Corky Coker, the 2025 Highlands Motoring Festival Grand Marshal.
It was a privilege to hear stories from three legends of the collector-car world, with plenty of camaraderie, laughter, and appreciation for the rare automobiles and relationships that make this festival so special.
As highlighted in our "World-Class Cars. Small-Town Soul." feature in the summer issue of ELEVATE, Highlands Motoring Festival has donated approximately $750,000 to local organizations over its history, with funds raised supporting important community work through organizations including REACH of Macon County, The Literacy and Learning Center, and The Community Care Clinic.
That is what makes this event so meaningful. The cars may bring people together, but the impact stays right here in the community.
Thank you to Highlands Motoring Festival, Wayne Carini, Bill Warner, Corky Coker, Highlands PAC and everyone who made last night such a memorable opening celebration for one of Highlands’ signature summer weekends.
