The event is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Event Coordinator Larry Rubio said the event draws between 3,000-5,000 people and more than 300 classic and vintage cars.

“We roughly get more than 350 cars,” said Rubio. “But this year we will have more Volkswagens. We had five last year and we will have about 20 this year.”

Rubio said he’s expecting the first automobiles to arrive at the church about 4:30 a.m. and most of the them should be in place by 9 a.m. with some still coming in.

Registration is from 7-10 a.m. and free coffee and donuts will be provided.

Mitchell Road and Lincoln Avenue in front of the church will be closed off to traffic and cars will be parking along both streets and the church parking lot.

Food lines open at noon and the award ceremony is scheduled for 3 p.m. Special awards will be presented to best of show for automobiles and motorcycles.

There will be free root beer floats, hamburgers and hot dogs, live entertainment, children activities, large inflatable toys, a 1950s dress contest, door prizes and more.

“We have enough hamburgers to serve people until we run out,” Rubio said. “We’ll have a couple thousand hamburgers and hot dogs. We getting about 109 gallons of A&W root beer, 26 tubs of ice cream and tons of chips.”

Admission is free.

Along with the car show is the annual Cruise for Food Drive for the church’s food bank. Non-perishable food items will be accepted.
