Thanks for supporting car show

Friday, October 12, 2018

On Sunday, Sept. 16, the River City Rodders, in conjunction with Old Town Cape, hosted their 41st Annual Car Show. This was the 12th year for our show to be located in downtown Cape, and the feedback that we continue to receive, from both participants and spectators, regarding the downtown location is very positive. Not only were the streets full of people checking out the cars, but the shops and restaurants were busy as well. Mother Nature was kind to us again this year, with good weather all weekend long. As a result, we had a record turnout, with almost 300 cars registered. We also saw an increase this year in the number of participants who drove longer distances and chose to spend the weekend in Cape, which provides a nice boost to our local economy. We feel that Downtown Cape is a great venue for our show and we continue to look for ways to make it even better.
