Custom Collision car winners announced

Havre Daily News staff

What is becoming a major tradition at Havre Festival Days doubled this year, and may increase in future years, with Custom Collision Repairs giving two deserving people reconditioned cars during its Barbecue and Burnout, held on Saturdays during Festival Days.

This year, Dasan Torgeson received a reconditioned 1999 Buick Century and Brooke McLean received a 2002 Pontiac Montana.

People donate cars to Custom Collision and the business, along with support from other businesses and organizations in the community, recondition the vehicles to like-new condition.

People submit essays saying why they or someone they know needs and deserves a vehicle, and a panel of judges select the winners.

The first two years, Custom Collision gave away one vehicle to a person in the area. With increasing donations, it upped the giveaway to two vehicles this year, and owner Chris Preputin said it could increase to three vehicles as early as next year.
