NEWS AND NOTES
There are only two events to report on this week. The first one I didn’t include in last week's listings. My apologies.
Hike for Hospice Car Show:
The Dragin' Angels hosted a car show at the Grace Community Church in Washington C.H., Ohio on Saturday. Proceeds from the show help to support Ohio's Hospice patient care and services.
There were door prizes, a 50/50 raffle, food trucks, and Top 10 car awards. Despite 50-degree temperatures and 20 mph wind gusts, the show registered about 40 cars.
Here are some of the cars that braved the gusty winds:
O'Reilly Auto Parts & Revved Up Fun:
Revved Up Fun Events hosted its season opener car show at the O'Reilly Auto Parts store on Harrisburg Pike in Columbus, Ohio on Sunday.
The show registered around 40 cars. The Revved Up Fun Events group presented very unique awards.
The Best of Show award went to Andre Lewis and his unrestored 1970 Buick Le Sabre.
LPAA Spring Fling Car Show:
Our good friend, Dale Pearce, drove 93 miles each way on Saturday to attend the LPAA Spring Fling Car Show at the Warren County Fairgrounds.
Dale went home with awards for Kids Choice, Best of Show, and Furthest Traveled.
A big thanks to Phil Monroe, Dale Pearce, and Chad Herrick for their contributions to this week's report.
I'm making the two-day drive back to Ohio starting Monday morning next week (April 29). My goal is to post next week's list on Sunday instead of Monday. I'll report on the Sunday shows the following week.

What Is The Difference Between A Car Show And A Cruise-In?
Car gatherings are a fun pastime experience that is a hobby for many. You see many different kinds of people with varying tastes and preferences in vehicles. They’re a great place to socialize with other people who appreciate the beauty of cars. But often times, you see on a flyer or an announcement that a certain car gathering is called either a “car show” or “cruise-in.” Many people wonder if there’s a difference at all between the two.
So, what is the difference between a car show and a cruise-in? Car shows are more formal and commonly require a fee for everyone involved. There are usually prizes as well as vendors, food, music and swap-meets. Cruise-ins are a lot less formal and mostly entail a smaller group of people gathering at a park or parking lot for a few hours with no fee involved.
It’s very common and quite easy to get confused between car shows and cruise-ins, but they essentially have the same goal in that they let people show off their classic car and let people share a common appreciation for such beautiful machines. I have attended hundreds of car shows, had several of my classic cars in car shows and cruise-ins, and have helped organize several shows. There’s a lot more to them than just their names.
What You Do At Car Shows and Cruise-Ins
Car shows are an excellent way to show off your ride. They’re also a great way to look at some beautiful cars and admire/day dream if you don’t happen to have a classic car for yourself.
Car shows can end up having thousands of people attending them, all entailing men, women, young, and old people alike. There’s usually something for everyone to keep busy at a car show. A lot of car shows have swap-meets with more than just car parts and paraphernalia, but also clothes, jewelry, sunglasses, etc. With the live music you usually hear at car shows, you can take your mind back in time as you look at machines that make you feel like you’re somewhere thirty years ago.
Car shows will often have several food vendors for you to choose from if you find yourself getting hungry. There are also also lots of treats to eat to make yourself or the littles happy. A lot of car shows also have a voting poll, letting spectators vote on their favorite cars per category. A car show can last for several days and at the end of the car show, judges will announce the winners from spectators’ votes and/or do a raffle and give out sought-after prizes.
Though cruise-ins aren’t as formal and may not have as many amenities as car shows, you still have a chance for having a wonderful time. Sometimes all the organization of a car show can be a bit stressful, so many prefer the low-key feel of a cruise-in. Anyone can walk in and out of the area as they please and admire the beautiful cars people have brought to show off.
There is still a chance for judging and prizes, though the prizes may not be as big or expensive as those at a car show. Cruise-ins usually only last for a few hours, commonly in the morning or in the evening. It’s a great way for classic car owners to admire each others’ cars and network about where to get car parts, reliable auto shops, and who to talk to if they’re interested in buying/selling.
Which Cars Are Eligible For Car Shows and Cruise-Ins
Really any car that is potentially interesting to look at is eligible for a car show or cruise-in. There are no specific standards as to what is and is not eligible to bring to shows like these. Car shows, however, may put a stop to people bringing in their 2007 Ford Fusion (just as an example) or other standard cars you can see in any other parking lot.
Old cars, brand new cars, souped-up cars, anything that could potentially be exciting for viewers to see are great for car gatherings. Sometimes cruise-ins and car shows will be for a specific make and model, so be sure to visit the car gathering’s website or read their flyer to make sure.
For car shows, you’ll usually need to pay a fee, probably between $10-$30, to register your car. Car shows will often have registrants and spectators pay a fee to compensate the employees and all the work that was put into organizing the show.
What To Bring To A Car Show or Cruise-In
If you are someone who is bringing a car to display at a car show or a cruise-in, there are a few things you can bring to make your experience as well as the audience’s experience more pleasurable.
The first item on your list you should bring is some cleaning supplies for your car. You want to make your car nice and shiny for people who are looking at it, but you still need to drive your classic car from your house to the show which will usually get your car a little dirty. Bring some lint-free micro fiber towels as well as some wax and some Windex so you can do a few spot cleans once you get your car parked. It’s also nice to bring some tire shine to give your tires that brand-new look.
If you are bringing a car to display, it’s also a good idea to bring a camping chair to sit in, some cold drinks, and some photos or a photo album of your car’s rebuilding process if you have them. People love seeing the process of an old rust bucket being brought back to life.
If you are a spectator, there are still a few things you should plan on bringing. Always bring cash with you. A lot of car shows won’t accept credit cards or checks, so cash would be your best bet. Contact the show organizer to see exactly how much it will be when you arrive. Also bring some extra cash in case you want to buy a treat or a meal; sometimes vendors don’t have credit card machines either.
It’s also a good idea to bring a lot of water with you if you plan on walking around looking at cars. Car shows and cruise-ins are usually held in the summer so it gets really hot. Apply sunscreen as well because you will definitely get sunburned if you don’t. If possible, wear sunglasses and a hat and wear the appropriate clothing to keep you cool; in other words, don’t wear a sweater and jeans.
How To Organize Your Own Car Show or Cruise-In
If you wish to organize your own car show or cruise-in, there are a few easy steps you can take to meet your goal. A lot of the steps depend on how big your want your show to be and how much time and money you’re willing to invest.
Planning a cruise-in won’t be as time consuming as planning a car show. First, you’ll need to pick a day for the cruise-in. Pick a time of year that is weather appropriate. Also try to find a day where there aren’t a lot of other activities going on around town that could lessen your audience.
Once you pick a day, find other people to help you out with organizing it. Make some flyers and post them on Facebook and around town. You can even make a free website from places such as Wix so people have a place to go to for more information. Most of your time should be spent advertising the cruise-in so you have as many attendees as possible.
Planning a car show is a little more demanding than planning a cruise-in. Consider all the steps recommended for planning a cruise-in in addition to networking and finding vendors as well as sponsors to help fund the car show. Calculate the price you will need to charge to car registrants and from spectators.
Related Questions
Can you take a non-running car to a car show? All classic cars, whether they’re running or not, are eligible for car shows. Many people take their project cars, which they’re still in the middle of rebuilding, to car shows to show off their progress they’ve made. It’s mostly just a matter of how you plan to get your classic car there.
How did car shows and cruise-ins get started? Car shows and cruise-ins started becoming popular in the 1980’s. Around this time is when some older cars started becoming classics and people started recognizing that. Groups started gathering their cars and displaying them in small shows. The idea became bigger and bigger as time went on.

Cruise Indy 2024 Benefitting: Folds of Honor ~ Indiana Chapter
August 17, 2024 9:00 am – 3:00 pm Check out the events happening at each location under the “Locations” tab
Cruise Indy:
It’s clear that Indiana has a rich history and a deep-rooted passion for automobiles that sets it apart as a unique and significant player in the automotive industry. Its contributions to automotive innovation and manufacturing have been substantial, with iconic brands like Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg, and Stutz leaving a lasting legacy. It can boast being the birthplace of the first commercially successful gasoline powered automobile in the US, the first electric hybrid and fully electric automobiles, as well as the location of the first gas pumps. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the largest testing grounds for automobiles and stands as a testament to Indiana’s automotive heritage. With a history that includes over 200 automobile manufacturers at one point, and ranks 3rd in the nation in automobile production presently, Indiana has played a pivotal role in shaping the automotive landscape in the United States.
Cruise Indy not only celebrates Indiana’s automotive legacy but also provides a platform to support causes like Folds of Honor, uniting the community around a shared love for cars and a commitment to giving back.
Why a Cruise?
Cars are meant to move and be heard! Cruise Indy is not just a car showcase but a dynamic and engaging experience that brings together collectors, car clubs, motorcycle enthusiasts, and the public in a festive setting. The inclusion of music, food, and entertainment adds to the vibrancy of the event, creating a lively atmosphere for all participants and attendees.
The opportunity for the public to actively participate in the cruise between four locations truly sets this event apart. The motto of “If you think your jalopy is cool, then let’s see it run!” encourages everyone to showcase their vehicles in motion, adding an interactive and engaging element that promotes community involvement and a deeper connection with the event.
Importantly, by combining the celebration of vehicles with a charitable cause, Cruise Indy adds a meaningful dimension to the gathering. Cruise Indy’s primary purpose is to provide a platform for individuals to express their creativity, share their interests, fostering camaraderie and contribute to something larger than themselves. It’s truly inspiring to see how this event brings people together for a common purpose while enjoying their love for cars.
Why Folds of Honor?
Nowadays, we the people seem desperate for common ground, searching for evidence that our name, the United States, still holds true. The answer comes when we see a soldier in uniform, a first responder risking their life to protect others. More than any topic, Americans agree on this: those who protect our freedom and our families deserve our unwavering support.
“Folds of Honor” honors the sacrifice and educates the legacy of US soldiers and first responders who are disabled or killed in the line of duty by providing their spouse and children life-changing scholarships. The recipients are as diverse as the country we call home, their common bond is sacrifice.

Charlotte On The Cheap
Live well in the Queen City on a budget
Upcoming Car Shows and Cruise-Ins in the Charlotte Area
Car enthusiasts, there are plenty of opportunities in the Charlotte area for you to show off your car, and to admire other cars.
Car shows and cruise-ins are both events that bring together people who love cars. Some car shows are focused on a certain type of car (classic, vintage, or modern) and some are even limited to a particular make of car.
Some of these events have a competitive aspect, with judges awarding prizes for the best cars in various categories. Sometimes (but not always) you’ll find vendors selling car-related merchandise, food vendors, and maybe even live music or entertainment.
On the other hand, a cruise-in is a more casual gathering of car enthusiasts. These events typically take place in a parking lot or other open space, where car owners can park their vehicles and show them off to other enthusiasts. There is generally no competitive aspect to a cruise-in. Some cruise-ins are components of larger events.
Read on for a list of car shows and cruise-ins in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. We also include other types of vehicle shows, like truck shows.
Also, we can’t list all the local car shows, so if you want to see even more, follow Charlotte Car Shows on Facebook! They are on it!
