Spaces may be purchased from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday and throughout the rest of the weekend at the Car Corral entrance. 

On Saturday and Sunday, the car show portion of the weekend begins. The car show will feature Hot Rods Customs and Race Cars and Compact Customs and Pickups on Saturday, which is devoted to hot rods, street rods, custom cars, race cars, and compact customs/pickups. A committee will award winners in over 30 categories. Sunday’s car show will feature unmodified antique and classic vehicles manufactured up to 1999. First, second, and third place awards will be presented in 60 different classes. Have a car you want to show off at one of the car shows?
