Special Guest Ryan Evans Lead painter and Creative influencer 
Count’s Kustoms
Ryan Evans is the lead painter and creative influence behind Count’s Kustoms projects. In 2015, Ryan received the Airbrush Action magazine’s choice for ‘SEMA’s Best In Show’ award for the custom paint and graphics on a custom 1973 Boattail Riviera. He is best known for being a casual and easy-going guy around the shop. Ryan’s favorite car is a 1969 Chevelle – “I was almost born in one. It was my earliest and fondest childhood memory with the family.”

High School Challenge Returns
See the best rides from Portland and Vancouver high schools featured during the Portland Roadster Show. Participating High Schools conduct an annual contest to choose the hottest cars and trucks, then winners are invited by MHRC to display their rides during the High School Challenge. Many of these young men and women are the future of the northwest rodding scene, so be sure to checkout their rides!
High School Challenge "Pride in Performance"
Les Schwab and the Multnomah Hot Rod Council are sponsoring two $500.00 "Pride In Performance" awards. These awards are presented to local High School Automotive Programs based on their students' participation in the High School Challenge. They will be judged on Excellence in Presentation and School Spirit.
Brush Bash
There’s nothing like watching some of the nation’s finest pinstripers performing their artistry on the coolest hot rods and customs. They will be “laying it all on the line”, competing to be crowned “Best of the Best” at the Rose City Brush Bash.
Wagon Angels Event for the JoyRx families and Chelsea Hicks Foundation!
Try to keep a dry eye as you meet young people going through the battle of their life as they receive a pull wagon that has been customized by local automotive shops and high school automotive programs. Each child picks out "their" wagon, and then the pinstripers that are competing in the Brush Bash, personalize it with the child's name and any other special things that make it their own. The Portland Roadster Show and Multnomah Hot Rod Council are extremely proud of this event and hope it brings just a little bit of joy to these courageous kids.

Posters will be available around the show floor with a QR code for donations to our Randall Children's Hospital Holiday Toy Run fundraiser.
