How about enjoying your favorite adult beverage while checking out cool cars and trucks around Tower Square Plaza?
We have the event for you!!!!!
Open containers will be allowed from Bennie's to the Elks and Pookie's to Seasoning. Rules for open containers: stay in the above-mentioned area, pick up your trash, and drink in the provided collector cup. You can't walk into an establishment with a full cup, but you can walk out with one. This event is for everyone, whether you have a car or truck to show or not. There's something for everyone, including a poker run with weekly prizes!
🏁Three (3) car show winners will be awarded dash plaques each week. In Week 5, someone will be the Grand Champion. Do you have what it takes to be THE GRAND CHAMPION? You must have won a dash plaque in one of the first four weeks to qualify. The Grand Champion will be chosen by the Mayor and his staff on October 2. Pretty cool, right?
