Show &
Shine
A favorite among locals is the car
show pre-registration on Friday from
3 to 6 p.m.
“This always turns into a small car
show in its self. It is a great way to
make Saturday morning run smooth-
ly,” said event organizers.
Registration begins at 8 a.m.
Award plaques are given out at the
end of the show starting at 3 p.m.
There will be a 50/50 drawing, raf-
fle prizes, hot dog booth and more.
Shirts are also for sale during the
show and at Potter’s Automotive and
Twin Lakes Store.
Don’t miss the evening Car Cruise
through Old Town, put on by KCST
Coast Radio. Sign-up is during the car
show, but it is on a first-come, first-
serve basis and space is limited.
