2nd Annual Great Pumpkin Classic Car Show

Thank you to everyone who was involved in the second annual Great Pumpkin Classic Car Show held on October 10 at the Tanger Outlet Center in Howell. We had a great turn out with over 75 cars participating. Cars (and trucks) were judged in 19 classes, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners were awarded trophies. All entrants received goody bags and dash plaques and were also eligible for the wonderful door prizes donated by our sponsors. Many people also participated in the 50/50 raffles held throughout the day.

We had a beautiful October day, a little chilly, but nothing to deter all the classic car owners and fans from enjoying the day. As a result of the generosity of all our entrants sponsors, and in-kind donations, we were able to raise almost $6000 for the Livingston County Salvation Army. The Salvation Army provides many vital services to our community from rent and utilities assistance to disaster relief and elderly services. They also run many, many other valuable programs.

This event would not have been possible without the help of our sponsors. These fine companies have yet again proven their commitment to our community. They are Art Ventures (Brighton), Allied Building Products (Howell), Morrison Industrial Equipment (Brighton), My Crate Motor.com (Howell), Paulson’s Construction (Howell), the Tanger Outlet Center of Howell, and Wilson Tent Services, Co. (Howell).

Mark your 2010 calendars for the second Saturday in October for next year’s Great Pumpkin Car Show. We plan to make our third annual show an even bigger and better event!
