Even if they deny it, most men and many women love cars. (Years ago the editor fell in love with a Rolls Royce with walnut details and had to be dragged back to a practical station wagon that would be suitable for a family of three children.)
Indulge your love or your fantasies Saturday, June 20, at the third annual Charity Car Show in historic downtown Wake Forest. You will find classic and antique autos – muscle, sports, pony, street rods and custom – along with custom trucks. There will also be live music, food trucks, a Model-T assembly demonstration, door prizes and a 50/50 raffle. Admission is free, and the event lasts from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The grand sponsor is Chris Leith Dodge/Ram and the gold sponsor is Ronnie White’s Towing and Tire. It is presented by Wake Forest Downtown.
All of the proceeds from the show will be donated to local organizations including the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club, the Purple Heart Foundation of North Carolina and the Miracle League of the Triangle.
Car registration begins at 8 a.m. at the intersection of South White Street and Elm Street. A $20 entry fee is required for owners wishing to display their cars or enter them for judging. Trailer parking will be available and the presentation of awards will begin at 2 p.m.
In 2014, 236 cars registered for exhibition and judging. Approximately 5,000 visitors attended the free show and $8,900 was donated to charity. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/WakeForestCharityCarShow, www.WakeForestDowntown.com.
