The car show, featuring antique, classic and hot rods will be located on the west side of The Wharf and cars will be spaced out to allow for social distancing. The registration fee is $50 in advance and $75 the day of the show. The lineup begins at 8 a.m. All vehicles must be in place by 9:30 a.m. Awards are presented to the Top 10 cars and there is a 50/50 split the pot raffle.
