As part of the East Petersburg Community Park Event Series, the 12th annual Vagabonds Car Show will return on Saturday, May 1, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will take place at the East Petersburg Community Park, 6051 Pine Street, East Petersburg. Based in Landisville, the event co-organizer Vagabonds Rod & Custom Club was established in 1958.

All vehicles are welcome to register for the show. "It can be a truck, car, motorcycle. It doesn't even have to be custom," stated Vance Spicer, vice president of Vagabonds Rod & Custom Club.

Vagabonds Rod & Custom Club member Doug Rambler noted that there have been times where the entire park was filled with vehicles. As a result, some cars had to park on the baseball field.

From 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the band ThunderRoad Rockin' Country will perform in the amphitheater. There will be four different food trucks throughout the park. Vagabonds Rod & Custom Club will hold a Chinese auction and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Hospice & Community Care. Sixty different trophies will be awarded to registered vehicles. Spicer said he is hoping for good weather and a great turnout.

President of the East Petersburg Events Committee Kristin Troops thanked one of the committee's biggest sponsors, Lancaster Toyota. "We have a gorgeous park, and thanks to them, we have a wonderful amphitheater for the park," she said. On the day of the car show, there will be an ampitheater sponsorship tower dedication at 1 p.m.

There will be same-day registration for vehicles, and the first 200 registered participants will receive a collector's edition event glass. For more information, contact Mark Meyer at 717-575-6252. To stay updated on the event, search for "12th Annual Vagabonds Car Show" on Facebook.
