Free Car Show & Sock Hop, August 11

The Sixth Annual Going Back in Time Classic Car Show and Sock Hop is set for Saturday, August 11, from 11 am to 2 pm, at Ashlar of Newtown, 139 Toddy Hill Road.

Admission is free. Local DJs Seth Carley and Mark Edwards will provide music from the 1950s and 60s.

Greyhound Rescue and Rehabilitation will be at the show, with their furry friends, to help raise public awareness about ex-racing greyhounds.

For those who plan to enter a car into the competition, preregistration is not required, and each one of the first 50 cars to register that day will receive a dash plaque. The cutoff year is 1980 — no cars manufactured beyond that year will be allowed to enter the competition.

Show attendees will be invited to vote for their favorite classic to receive the Peoples’ Choice Award. First, second, and third place trophies will be presented to the winners.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase during the show. There is no rain date scheduled. For information, call 268-1111.
