Classic cars set to roll into town Saturday
Everyone get ready for McMinnville to turn into its own version of Motor City next Saturday, May 24 as the McMinnville Cruisers second annual Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show rolls into town.
“This is a great summer activity the whole family can enjoy,” said the Cruisers’ Al Brady, one of the show’s organizers.
Registration will begin Saturday at 8 a.m. and continue until noon. There will be more than 25 classes with trophies and prizes including a set of tires donated by D.C. Tires, a $100 gift card from Wal-Mart, a roll-around Craftsman toolbox donated by Sears of Tullahoma along with several cash prizes.
Registration fee will be $20 per vehicle on the day of show. All vendors who are not affiliated with a charitable organization will be charged a vendor’s fee of $15.
This year, the Cruisers are teaming up with Main Street McMinnville to sponsor the event which will include live music, concessions of all kinds, games, street vendors, door prizes and contests including a “Name that Tune” style competition.
Main Street will conduct a silent auction during the day with donated items from around the county including some seats and other memorabilia gleaned from Park Theater restoration.
Music group Blind, Crippled and Crazy will perform on the Chamber of Commerce building stage with additional performances from a band of Johnny’s Music shop musicians, and the Pioneerettes dance group will lend its own brand of performance pizzazz to the event.
Last year’s show featured over 130 vehicles and organizers expect in excess of 200 entries from around the region this year.
Proceeds from the show will go to the numerous charities supported by the Cruisers and to benefit the Main Street project.
