Cost is $40 per person, table for 8 is $280 or a table for 10 is $360. Doors open at 6 with dinner at 6:30 and band starts at 7. There is a silent auction and a 50/50 drawing. If your car is entered in the car show you receive one extra ticket for the cash drawing on Saturday. Tickets must be purchased in advance (either along with your vehicle registration), or register online here. The last several years has been close to a sold out crowd so register early! Limited to the first 235 reservations.
Of course you can find all information concerning the event at this link. You should definitely check out Dennis Gage's Directors Cut for filming he did last year for the event to be broadcast on My Classic Car! We also have plenty of spaces for sponsors, vendors and yes, we have a few new surprises up our sleeves, so stay tuned! We know its going to be a bigger and better event as gas prices have come down and covid restrictions lifted. We're ready for some fun!
There are so many new things happening in Paso Robles (and new places to stay). Your best best for accommodations for those staying overnight would be to try the TravelPasoRobles website for a great listing.
This entire event has always been a fund-raiser for Estrella Warbirds Museum. We are staffed and operated primarily by volunteers whom have helped us build an incredible showcase here in Paso Robles. If you are interested in volunteering and helping out during the event, we'd love to talk with you! Visit this page to see many opportunities.
If you have any questions concerning registration/payment or concerns please feel to reach out to me anytime at my cell phone listed below or reply to this email. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again in May and lots of new people, vehicles and displays!
