<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHe continued, \u201cOur money from the October show at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds goes to [support] kid\u2019s angel trees, the veteran’s trees, and nursing home residents at Christmas time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other beneficiaries of VooDoo Custom\u2019s kindness are Hands of Mercy, NOKIDGOESHUNGRY, and the Legion Riders Wreaths Across America program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe help the awesome group put out 140 stands and wreaths each year at Lincoln Cemetery, and we\u2019ll return on [the Saturday after Christmas] to remove them,\u201d Big Joe added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Organizing shows and volunteering for projects like Wreaths Across America requires a lot of work. Sponsorships from area businesses support the group\u2019s efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Little Joe led the club until family commitments temporarily forced him to step back in late 2021. He temporarily handed his duties over to his mom, Brenda, but has since returned to his position as the club\u2019s president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Big Joe said, \u201cTurning the wheels is what she did in making somewhere around 2,500 flyers, printing them, passing them out, putting trophies together, and getting sponsorships along with the help of our appointed public relations and members. So to car shows we went.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, board members are Kenny and Miki Campbell, Jeff and Shannon Gibson, David and Misty Ford, Steve and Shelia Nichols, Steve and Tina McAnally, and Billy and Sandra Woodward.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the club lost its fifth original member, Rex Campbell, on Oct. 1, 2022, the group fulfilled his final wishes, demonstrating the deep bonds shared among VooDoo Customs Car Club members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The roar of engines echoed through Lincoln County as a procession of vintage vehicles solemnly wound its way to New Sharon Cemetery. In front, Campbell\u2019s 1947 Ford carried him on his final ride. Nearly 30 classic cars, trucks, and motorcycles followed behind, their rumbling a solemn salute to a fallen brother. His casket, adorned with VooDoo Customs pinstriped artwork and draped in the American flag, paid tribute to his Vietnam service and his membership in the brotherhood of a group of automotive enthusiasts with hearts of service to our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the following weeks, the group demonstrated its commitment to family \u2014 both blood and chosen. The club unanimously voted to cover Campbell\u2019s funeral expenses, working with Gallant Funeral Home to settle the costs. This gesture, coupled with donations from friends and the community, ensured that Campbell’s immediate family faced no financial burden in their time of grief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Campbell was a driving force within the club. Known for his no-nonsense approach and uncanny ability to coordinate parking at events, he pushed the group to excel. His loss left a void, but his spirit continues to inspire VooDoo Customs members.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Joe said about Campbell, \u201cHe was the most influential member we have ever had and will ever have.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, the club\u2019s motto, \u201cshowing up and caring for others,\u201d echoes throughout the community, turning what started as a small group of car enthusiasts into a family dedicated to making a difference, one car show at a time.
