You do not have to be an avid car fan, always looking for the classic car or the right accessory for your car, to enjoy all the cars that will be on display this Saturday, June 11, during the Wake Forest Charity Car Show.
Sponsored by Wake Forest Downtown Inc., the show will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. along South White Street in the historic downtown. And the middle name in the show’s title, Charity? The proceeds will benefit Tri-Area Ministry, Wake Forest Optimist Club, Wake Forest Kiwanis Club, Wake Forest Woman’s Club, and Wake Forest High School JROTC. Donations of peanut butter and jelly will be accepted during the car show to benefit Tri-Area Ministry.
Presented by Grand Sponsor Chris Leith Dodge/Ram, the free exhibit will showcase vehicles of all makes and models, including muscle cars, sports cars, pony cars, classic and antique autos, street rods and trucks. The car show will also feature a ‘Take-Apart-T’ Model T assembly demonstration, the Leith Kia Monster Truck, and the Wake Forest Fire Department’s Jaws of Life demonstration. Food vendors will also be on site.
Admission to the car show is free and open to the public. In the event of rain, the exhibit will be held on Saturday, June 18.
Anyone wishing to enter a vehicle in the car show may register on the day of the event between 8 and 11 a.m. The registration cost is $20 per vehicle, and the intersection of South White Street and Elm Avenue will serve as the vehicle entry area.
