LAURE WEIR
Chrome will gleam and engines will roll this Sunday as the Smiths Falls Cruisers Car Club hosts its second annual car show at Lower Reach Park.
The July 6 event is expected to draw between 275 and 300 vintage and antique vehicles. Cars, trucks and motorcycles from across the region will be on display from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. along the grassy, tree-lined setting beside the tennis courts.
Admission is free for spectators. The cost for show vehicles is $10.
“This is an excellent antique and vintage car show,” said organizer Jim Barnett. “The setting is beautiful, with lots of space and shade. We’ll have two food vendors, a DJ spinning music throughout the day, and other vendors selling things like arts and crafts. There will also be door prizes and a 50/50 draw. Anyone attending will not be disappointed.”
The show is non-judged, and all vehicles are welcome. The club expects a strong turnout again this year after drawing 250 registered vehicles in 2024.
Registration runs from 9 a.m. to noon. Draws take place throughout the day, with the 50/50 winner announced at 2 p.m. Additional $50 money draws are planned.
A plaque will be handed out to the first 50 vehicles to register.
Gates open at 7 a.m. sharp. No early entry will be permitted.
The event runs rain or shine.
