We have an official name for the September 2026 car show in historic downtown Beatrice :"JayHusker Carfest - Where Classic Meets Custom"
We are now members of ENWICC (Eastern Nebraska Western Iowa Car Council.)
JayHusker Auto Club started in the 1950’s in Beatrice, Nebraska as a Small Engine and Car Club, but didn’t officially become a recognized club (nonprofit organization) with the state until the late 1960’s. By the late 1960’s, the Club had already started hosting a Flea Market/Swap Meet and other events. Initially, the Club hosted the Swap Meet on Fathers' Day Weekend, but later combined it with the weekend of the annual Homestead Days. The originating club members lived in Southeastern Nebraska and Northeastern Kansas, thus the JayHusker name was chosen. The club has over 50 members who are auto enthusiasts ranging in age from teenagers to retirees. They have a wide variety of vehicles including Hot Rods, Rat Rods, Muscle Cars, Antique Cars, Sports Cars, Imports/Exotics, Motorcycles, Antique Farm Equipment and Drag Racing cars. The Club sponsors and participates in Car Shows, Show and Shines, Cruises, Racing, and other events. Many members are into small engines, flea markets and swap meets. We promote auto events within a 100-mile radius of Beatrice and post community events on our calendar.
If you are interested in becoming a member or would like more information about the Club, please message us. Or you can join us at our monthly meeting or one of our events. Please check our calendar for dates and locations.
You don’t have to own a vehicle to be a member. The Yearly Membership is only $20 (twenty dollars!)
