Celebrating Community and Cars
The afternoon promises a vibrant atmosphere filled with food, camaraderie, and a diverse display of vehicles. Attendees can expect to see a mix of classic and import cars, reflecting the dealership’s reputation as a gathering spot for automotive aficionados. Jim Stickney, a representative of Palomino Retro, emphasized the importance of community involvement. “The car show is a way for us to celebrate the automotive world while giving back to the community,” he stated. “We love seeing families, friends, and fellow car lovers come together here.”
Guests will have the opportunity to browse rows of gleaming vehicles, share stories with fellow enthusiasts, and indulge in refreshments, including hot dogs and homemade desserts.
