The 2017 Wake Forest Charity Car Show is all about cars and vehicles of all types, but it is really about providing help to local charities – having fun while doing good.
It takes place this Saturday, June 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. along South White Street in Wake Forest’s historic downtown. It is free, family-friendly and fun.
Presented by Grand Sponsor Chris Leith Dodge/Ram, the 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 on display, and the Wake Forest Fire Department’s Jaws of Life demonstration.
Raffle tickets to win a gift certificate for a new set of tires valued up to $800, courtesy of Chris Leith Dodge/Ram are $5 each or five for $20 and available at the Wake Forest Downtown tent. You do not need to be present to win.
Admission to the car show is free and open to the public. In the event of rain, the exhibit will be rescheduled for Saturday, June 24.
To enter a vehicle in the show, register between 8 and 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 17, or the rescheduled date of June 24. The vehicle entry area will be at the intersection of South White Street and Elm Avenue and registration is $20 per vehicle.
