The Westby Area Historical Society began in 1989. A committee met and agreed to start WAHS to preserve and share the history of our area. A dedicated group of people worked for several years before they were able to purchase what is now the Thoreson House Museum.  

To financially support the mission of the organization and to be able to pay the expenses of the museum, WAHS held many fundraisers. One of the first that continued for many years was an old-fashioned pie and ice cream social.

By 2016, the event had lost steam. It was WAHS board member and committed volunteer Madeline Anderson's idea to combine a car show with the pie and ice cream social. 

In 2016, the first SRSP event drew 15 cars. Over the past 7 years, the event has grown to become our biggest fundraiser with almost 200 cars and hundreds more people coming to Westby. The event includes more than 60 awards, a swap meet, vendors, face painting, a special kids' raffle, a 50/50 raffle, and of course, lots of pie with ice cream!
