If you or your family are NASCAR fans, and especially if you are Kyle Busch fans, have we got a sweet treat for you. The Las Vegas native’s No. 18 Ethel M Chocolates 40thAnniversary Toyota Camry, with a paint job that celebrates the 40th anniversary of Ethel M in 2021, is on display at the candy maker’s Henderson flagship store and cactus garden on Saturday, March 6, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., perfect for snapping selfies and family photos. Reservations are required, but they’re free!
In a release, Busch said, “When I was a kid, my grandma used to bring me out to the Ethel M Factory and Cactus Garden, and it was one of my favorite places to visit in Vegas. Even during a difficult time, we’re glad to bring a better moment to fans by giving them a chance to connect with the new car in a safe way.”

The National Automobile Dealers Association for several years has kept a tradition of making a philanthropic donation to a local organization in the city where its NADA Show takes place. Last year, for example, NADA donated $50,000 to the Nellis Support Team in Las Vegas.
That nonprofit organization supports airmen and their families at Nellis Air Force Base, Creech Air Force Base and Nevada Test and Training Range.
This year, even though the pandemic kept NADA from hosting its annual conference in person NADA Show 2021, originally scheduled for January in New Orleans, will instead stream live online next week the association said it wants to keep that yearly NADA Show donation tradition.

Bob Vail of Vail Buick GMC has been elected to the National Automobile Dealers Association’s executive committee as vice-chairman, region I.
A former chair of the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, or GNYADA, Vail will represent the Greater New York region’s auto dealers. Those dealers represent a collective $53 billion economic impact and support more than 72,000 jobs in New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley.
Vail is also now responsible for bringing together eastern U.S. industry leaders to speak with a strong collective voice, GNYADA said.
An entirely vegan food bank opened in December, offering vegetables, fruits, pastas, rice, beans, and more for those in need. LasVegan Food Bank distributes about 40 boxes of food every Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. at RIR Animal Sanctuary.
Those who want to help the organization can donate non-perishable food at Veg-In-Out Market, Go Vegan Cafe & Juice Bar, and Tarantino’s Vegan, and the organization accepts cash donations via Venmo and Patreon for produce purchases on the day the boxes are handed out.
In order to pick up a box, people need to sign up in advance on the food bank’s Facebook page, and then receive information on obtaining a box via contactless curbside service. Anyone can register to receive food.
