Woodbury Lions Club Antique Car Show
The Woodbury Lions Club is presenting their 40thAnnual Car Show on June 10, 2018 at Hollow Park in Woodbury, CT.
The daylong event is expected to attract over three hundred of the best classic cars in the Northeast and over a thousand spectators. Along with automobile classes, there will be judging for motorcycles, trucks, 'rat rods' and military vehicles.
Cars can begin to enter for judging at 9 am, with the first three hundred entries receiving a free dashboard plaque. General admission begins at 10 am. Admission price is $15 per car, $5 per person, and children under ten, $1. Judging begins at noon, with trophies presented at 3 pm.
The event will contain all the fun and excitement for the whole family that has made past shows a success, with food and beverages, raffles, music and, this year, an expanded vendor area. There's a free touch-a-truck, and the Monster Truck appears again this year, with rides available for $10.
The Lions use the proceeds from the car show, as well as from their Haunted Hayride, to award scholarships to graduating Nonnewaug high school seniors. This year, local students going on to college received twenty-thousand dollars in financial aid from the Lions.
