Bob Ridings in Pana is gearing up for its Veterans Day cookout.  It’s scheduled for Monday, November 10 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.  The core purpose of the event, like many others for the occasion, is to honor veterans for their service.  Bob Ridings does so through this annual cookout and through the contests and service offers they provide exclusively for veterans.  The dealership’s connection to service to the country is what drives them to organize it year after year. 

General Manager Bryan Booth has played his part in running the Veterans Day cookout for much of his time at Bob Ridings in Pana.  He says the tradition is now over a decade old and has grown in that time.

In addition, every veteran who turns up receives a coupon for a free oil change from the dealership’s service team. 

Booth says the cause of supporting and honoring veterans is near and dear to Bob Ridings in Pana.  Many – if not all – of their staff know veterans, and some employees are veterans themselves. 

Separate from the cookout, Booth also speaks on the current state of the automobile market.  The economy has seen major swings thanks to events like the pandemic, inflation, and tariffs, but dealers like Bob Ridings are seeing favorable trends right now.
