Hotrods, dragsters, classic cars and muscle cars, as well as vintage trucks and motorcycles, are all invited to compete for recognition. Entry fee for car show registrants is three canned food items, which will stock the church’s food pantry that benefits community families.
All participating vehicle owners will receive a swag bag. Parking for car show participants will be reserved at Canyon Crest Academy. Owners are requested to set up their cars at the school by 9 a.m. and visit the car show hospitality counter. Church services will be held at the school at 9 and 11 a.m.
The car show will include a competition among the entrants. Church attendees will be invited to vote for their favorite cars, including “Best of Show,” “Best Paint Job” and “Best Interior” categories. Trophies will be awarded to the winning car owners.
