Hootin an Hollarin car show is Saturday
The second annual Hootin an Hollarin Auto Roundup Car Show, sponsored by The Antler Restaurant, will run from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20 (with car check-in at 8:30 a.m.) in the parking lot on Main Street that sits between 160 Pit Stop and the Phillips 66/White Oak Station convenience store (formerly J-Mart).
The location allows car show participants to easily pull out and participate in the Hootin an Hollarin parade (see page 66), which begins at 2 p.m.
The event is open to all ages. The cost to enter is $20 per vehicle, which can be paid at the time of the show.
The show has five categories:
• Current rides: 1995-2024
• Stylin’ classics: 1994-1975
• Anne-Teaks: 1974-1962
• Cedar Pete Specials: 1961 and earlier
• Custom: any age customized automobile
Children are encouraged to bring their Power Wheels or other branded electric or motor-powered ride-on vehicles to enter into the car show - and the entrance fee is waived for those entries. All children who enter that type of a vehicle will receive a gift bag.
Prizes will be awarded at 1 p.m. The top two people’s choice winners in each category will receive a plaque.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Gainesville High School auto mechanics class.
