Quad City Car Show Season Extends Into October
If you're a classic car enthusiast, you'll love this trend of car show season extending into October! When the leaves are turning, and the days are crisp, a car show is a perfect way to spend the day. Here are just a few upcoming shows you don't want to miss.
Saturday, September 24th, Hot Rods for Heroes.
This is a show organized by Blue Star Mothers of Iowa to raise money for the holiday care packages they send to service members during the holidays.
Registration 8 a.m. to Noon Judging Noon – 1:30 p.m. Awards 3:30 p.m.
Place: DMACC Ankeny 2006 S Ankeny Blvd, Ankeny, IA 50023
Cost: Car entry fees are $20 per day of the show. The public is free to attend
Sunday, September 25th, the Blackhawk College Car Show
"Hot Roddin' for Scholars" is the first there under a new name and organizers. This is the show previously run by QC Vintage Rods and the money raised goes to providing scholarships. I'm hosting the show, and my intention is to help it off the ground with its new organizers and try to maximize the dollars raised. Hope to see some old friends, and bump into some new ones, too! Dave and Susan Palmer have hosted this show many times, and I hope to live up to the bar they have set.
Into October, The Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds host Iron Invasion
Friday, October 7, Saturday, October 8, with a hangover cruise set for Sunday. During the event on Saturday, The Dwyer and Michaels' Last Gasp Car Show takes place alongside Iron Invasion. This is our last outdoor show for the year, and it's also the show from which we select the cover car for The Dwyer & Michaels Classic Car Calendar from The Camera Corner.
Hope to see everyone out and about if the weather holds.
