Mark Metz Memorial
Scholarship Fundraiser
A Car Show and Memorial Fund Raiser
will be held from 4pm to 8pm at The BLVD
in San Marcos, to honor the memory of Mark Ryan Metz,
21, who passed away on July 10, 2005 from injuries sustained while riding
his ATV. Mark was a passionate rider and loved the great outdoors of
Wyoming where he was attending Wyoming Technical
Institute, one of the foremost automotive schools in the country.
Mark also attended Palomar College
while living
in San Marcos and worked at Kragen Auto Parts
in Escondido before leaving this spring for
WyoTech.
All proceeds from the event be used for Scholarships for other students
wishing to attend WyoTech
and who share Mark’s
zest for life, cars, motor sports and the great outdoors.
As part of the fund raiser there will be door prizes, raffles, silent auctions and other events. The car show will begin at 4pm and Charly and Calico Ridge will play from 6 to 8pm. This promises to be a great event and is open to all people who love cars, motor sports, country music and just having fun.
