Field of Wheels at MGM Park

Hundreds piled into MGM Park on Saturday for Field of Wheels, an invitational exotic car show right on the field.

This free event was filled with cars that were invited straight from Governor Bryant. Many of these beauties have already won many awards, but the governor and special guests like The Beach Boys gave out their own awards.

This event was more than just fancy cars and prizes, it was also a fundraiser for the Center for Medically Fragile Children the governor and his wife are starting up.

The Mississippi Center for Medically Fragile Children will be located in Jackson and will house and give short or long-term care for children in need. Participant Jimmy Shaw said, “It’s just a special event more or less for the governor and the charity and I’m just glad to be here.”

Participant Lionel Dowling said, “People here are so friendly. I love Mississippi and the Gulf Coast. It’s just they treat us like kings here and they respect your car. You watch the people walk around these cars and they are all car people.”

Field of Wheels raised $175,000 for the center.
