The vehicle registrations fee is $15 per car and the event runs from 9 a.m. to noon; free goody bags and commemorative dash plaques will be handed out to the first 100 registrations. Trophies will be awarded to nearly sixty vehicles. Polish up your paint and wax those tires for a chance to win the “Best of Show, “People’s Choice” or the “Best Club Participation” awards.

Spectators may attend the event for free and have the chance to win various giveaways, raffles and meet adoptable shelter dogs. Bonus: Donate a can of wet dog or cat food and receive an extra door prize ticket.
