16th Annual Show and Shine – by Alan Didway
It is hard to believe that Havasu Classics has been doing car shows in Lake Havasu City for 16 years. It seems like the was organized just a couple of years ago. That old adage that “time flies when you are having fun” is true. Their first shows were in the parking lot next to Classic Burger, then Windsor 4, Rotary Park and now the 1 at 6th Annual Show and Shine will take place at the Shops at Lake Havasu.
The Havasu Classics could not put on the shows that they do without the support of the local community and the generosity of the local merchants as well as the support that they get from the other local car clubs. They all work together to ensure
that the shows are as successful as possible.
This year’s show and shine will be on Saturday, March 24 beginning at 8am with trophy presentations at 3pm. The entry fee this year is $35.00 until March 11 and $40.00 after that. The show is open to all classic cars, special interest vehicles, hot rods and rat rods both domestic and foreign. Music will be provided along with raffles and other fund raisers. The first 200 registrants will receive a goody bag with a dash plaque and what ever else we are able to fit in the bag.
Profits from the show and shine are donated to various charities here in Lake Havasu. The Havasu Classics have been donating money to various groups in the community for all of the 16 years that they have been having the show and shines and make every
effort to ensure that the donated moneys stay in town to help locally.
