For the last four years, Beggs has served as chairman of the Canyon Lake Car Show. Held annually in October, the Car Show draws nearly 1,000 car enthusiasts each year.
“Although I was recognized, I want to acknowledge the committee leaders and the team that put the show together,” Beggs said. “We put in this effort because 100 percent of the proceeds go to local charities. The annual Car Show is one of the biggest and most anticipated events in Canyon Lake, and we love putting on this event for the community.”
