Cruisin' Through the Years with Chuck Wenthold, episode #7

For more than 16 years, Chuck Wenthold has helped shape one of Jefferson's favorite summer traditions, Cruisin' to the Square. In this episode of Behind What Matters, Chuck shares how a lifelong passion for classic cars turned into years of volunteer leadership, what it takes to organize one of Iowa's largest Thursday night car shows, and how the event has evolved over time. Award-winning restorations, family memories, unique trophies, and countless behind-the-scenes details all come together to create an event that's about much more than cars. Chuck discusses the pride owners take in their vehicles, the volunteers who keep the event running, and the way Cruisin' to the Square introduces visitors to downtown Jefferson's shops, restaurants, and attractions. Car enthusiast or not, you'll come away with a new appreciation for the people, passion, and community that keep this tradition rolling year after year.
