Celebrating 50 years in Oakdale and 20 years in their Chowchilla location, Steves Chevrolet has a lot to celebrate but recently they took time out to honor some local heroes. This past Friday, Oct. 11, the House of Beef catered a luncheon for first responders at Steves Chevrolet of Oakdale and honorees included area paramedics, firefighters and law enforcement.
“We’re just so grateful to them,” said Jeff Steves on why they chose to celebrate these heroes now. “We are so thrilled to have spent the last 50 years here and we are looking forward to the future, both here and in Chowchilla. People that live here, we just love this community and the first responders are part of this community.”
Steves added that it is an important time for their family and their dealerships as he is part of the second generation that is now training the third generation to take over eventually. His son, Austin Steves, is stepping in to some roles and handles some of the advertising, including doing the radio announcements for the dealerships.
