Registration Cost for a vehicle to compete for a trophy in the car show is $40 at the gate.
A Windshield Card is an 8 ½” by 11″ form printed on Card Stock. It contains the Class the vehicle is competing in, the vehicle number, the year make, model, color and type of engine (air-cooled, water-cooled, or electric). This information will all be filled out for those who registered online. Those who register the day of the show will need to fill out a form containing that information and give it to the volunteers at the Registration table. They will be given a numbered windshield card to fill out.
This year the card also gives space for an owner to add other interesting information about their vehicle.
Yes, there is a Swap Meet. You can purchase a 10′ x 10′ space or 10′ x 20′ space. Fee must be paid in cash. Tow vehicles must not be parked in the swap meet space without special permission, there will be an area near the swap meet designated for tow vehicles.

Car show vehicles will be directed over one of two short ramp/bridges to get over the parking berm and swale leading to the soccer fields. The design of the ramp/bridges has been improved to prevent the teeter-totter effect. Ramps will be marked with parking guides to help drivers know they are on the ramp.
Well behaved dogs on a leash are welcome. Owners must pick up after their dogs and are liable for any injuries or damage their dog may cause.
Yes we will have several food trucks, and portable toilets and hand washing stations.
