Please join us for the first-ever Catawba Pickers Classic Car Show. This family-friendly event will take place at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds in Shelby, NC and will run in conjunction within the Catawba Pickers Antique And Artisan Show, a regional event with hundreds of vendors and tens of thousands of visitors.
There will be 4 classes of cars, and awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in each class. The classes are…
1. Antique & Classic - 1960 & Earlier
2. Muscle Car Era - 1961 thru 2000
3. Modern Era - 2001 thru Present
4. Modified / Street Rod - All Years
In addition, there will be a Best Of Show Award, door prizes, and an award for “Ralph’s Favorite”. Ralph is our mascot for both events taking place at the Fairgrounds.
The registration cost for the car show is free, although there is a $10.00 per person charge to enter the fairgrounds. Children 12 and under are free. The first 100 car show participants registered will receive a free oversized Catawba Pickers tote bag that you can use to walk the grounds and carry the treasures you find at the event.
There is NO preregistration for this event…Day of show only.
You are welcome to bring tents and lawn chairs and enjoy the day with family and friends. We look forward to seeing you and seeing your rare ride on Saturday, October 24th.
