Graffiti Weekend: 44 Years of Cars, Culture & Community

This week on Your CUE, we celebrate Graffiti Weekend, one of Douglas County’s most iconic traditions and a community event that has brought generations together through classic cars, storytelling, and shared history for 44 years. Joining the conversation are Bob Scott, Graffiti organizer; Crissie of Rat Rod Round Up; Carter Clark, President of the Umpqua Flatheads Car Club; Amy Holmgren, President of the Stray Angels Car Club; Jacob Zink, an Umpqua Community College auto student and Umpqua Flatheads member; and Corbin Currington, a Fremont student and classic car enthusiast. Together, they reflect on the history of Graffiti Weekend, the culture and craftsmanship behind classic cars, and the passion that continues to keep this tradition alive. From reminiscing and restoration to community connection and mentorship, this conversation explores how car culture creates spaces for people of all ages to come together around a shared passion. At the heart of this episode is the power of tradition, how events like Graffiti Weekend preserve history, create belonging, and pass knowledge from one generation to the next. We also celebrate the role local clubs, students, and community leaders play in carrying that legacy forward, proving that when a community rallies around its traditions, it strengthens the bonds that connect us all.
