The skies will be sunny, and no rain is expected this coming Saturday. But rest assured that the 16th Annual Vintage Car Club Show in downtown Minden will be “hot rod hot!” The show is free to the public and will have activities for people of all ages.
Free on-site registration for the Sept. 14 event will begin at 7 a.m. and will continue until judging starts promptly at 11 a.m. in first, second and third places for entrants in at least half-a-dozen categories. Special trophies will be awarded to the Oldest Car Entrant, Youngest Car Entrant, Farthest Traveled, Best of Show, and People’s Choice, which the crowd will select.
The trophy presentation will begin at 2 p.m. near the fountain. From 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. expect to see everything from Corvettes and Mustangs to tractors, jeeps and rat-rods. Everything from domestic cars to foreign imports will be vying for trophies.
“Restoring the Community One Vehicle at a Time” is the motto of the Vintage Car Club of Minden, a family-oriented, non-profit organization that participates in area parades and car shows. The club awards scholarships to deserving seniors, sponsors several sports organizations, and provides assistance to those in need.
In addition to many sponsors, the show is coordinated by Minden Main Street and Visit Webster.
