2017 Car Show

By

Our 3rd annual open car show was another great success, with about 130 vehicles on display for all those who came out! This year the show was moved from mid-June to the second Saturday in April, primarily to help escape the brutal summer heat as well as avoiding conflicts with summer vacations.

It turned out to a beautiful spring day here in Garden Ridge, with the mercury rising up to a balmy 84 degrees, after a relatively mild start to the day.

Our Sponsors

We cannot be successful without our wonderful, generous sponsors. With their support, we have been able to provide event t-shirts for the participants, trophies and plaques for the winners, golf carts to transport spectators to and from the parking lots, and so much more. Thank you to all of our sponsors!
