The 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas is truly a sight to behold. It's the place where automotive aftermarket professionals and enthusiasts come together to celebrate all things cars. We've seen examples of every kind of vehicle imaginable – from sleek sports cars to massive trucks and custom builds. This is just the beginning of our exploration as we continue to bring you more photos and stories throughout the week.
Walking through the show floor, you can feel the energy and excitement in the air. It's a hub of innovation and creativity, with companies showcasing their latest parts and pieces. We're here to document it all and share it with you, so you can feel like you're part of this amazing event.
The variety of cars and trucks at the 2024 SEMA Show is truly astonishing. There are classic beauties that have stood the test of time, as well as brand new designs that push the boundaries of what's possible. We've captured everything from low-rider classics to high-performance race cars, each with its own unique story.
One of the highlights for us was seeing the custom builds. These vehicles are a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the automotive community. From unique paint jobs to one-of-a-kind modifications, every car and truck tells a story. We're excited to share these stories with you and inspire you to think outside the box.
The SEMA after party night life is not to be missed. It's a chance to unwind and connect with other car enthusiasts in a fun and relaxed environment. We've been enjoying the festivities and capturing the energy of the night. From live music to delicious food, there's something for everyone.
Working with our sponsors has been a great experience, and we're grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this event. The SEMA Show is more than just a trade show – it's a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for cars.
For the fourth year in a row, the Westside Food Pantry was at the heart of this exciting event. The presence of hot rides added an extra element of excitement, while the good vibes filled the air. It was a day to celebrate not only our veterans but also to support those in need.
With a live DJ providing the beats and local food and craft vendors offering a variety of treats, people had a wonderful time. The petting zoo also brought a touch of joy, making it a truly memorable experience for all.
The event was masterfully organized by Gabriel and Diana Barba. Since 1991, the Westside Food Pantry has been dedicated to providing and supporting families in need across Stanislaus County. This initiative gives people the opportunity to make a meaningful donation and help those in difficult situations.
Through their efforts, the pantry has become a vital part of the community, offering a helping hand to those who need it most.
One of the event's sponsors, realtor Stephanie Capote, shared some inspiring details. Las Palmas Elementary School brought in 922 canned food items this year, falling just short of last year's 1,000 items. However, the community support was still overwhelming.
"This is the second time I've collaborated with Las Palmas School, and the students worked incredibly hard throughout October, advertising and collecting donations," Capote said. "I am also grateful for the additional support from Patterson's Garden Club and the F.D.E.S. Portuguese Hall of Patterson."
Invest in Me is playing a crucial role by providing drop-off locations to collect non-perishable items and canned goods. These locations have been set up to make it convenient for people to contribute. The drop-off locations include:
Village Skate Shop, 1040 W. Las Palmas Ave., Suite A-2

The Boutique at Serendipity, 32 N 3rd St.
