The Car Show portion of our event features old autos, brand new exotic vehicles, hot rods, muscle cars, ex-military vehicles, and new cars of almost every make. Airplane and car owners are urged to display their vehicles for judging, and we award trophies in many categories.   Pets on leashes are welcome, and we even provide a watering station.  Handicapped parking and restrooms are available.

There is no entry fee, but your donation is appreciated.  Nearby parking is available at $10, with proceeds helping to benefit the Boy Scouts.
