Bring your classic cars and kids to cruise to Conestoga.

The 11th Conestoga Classic Car Show will be held rain or shine on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Main Street.

The event is sponsored by First Responders Friends and will benefit the Conestoga Volunteer Fire Company and local EMS organizations.

Owners can register their vehicles on the day of the show. For more information, search for "Conestoga Car Show" on http://www.eventbrite.com.

The first 200 people who register their vehicles will receive a dash plaque and a goodie bag. The registration fee includes a hamburger, fries, and a drink.

There will be trophies awarded in the following 12 categories - Best of Conestoga, Best of Show, People's Choice, First Responders' Choice, Most Original, Best Paint, Best Truck, Best Jeep, Best Engine, Best Motorcycle, Best Interior, and Best Monder Muscle.

"We've been told it's one of the nicest shows around because of all the giveaways and goodie bags and all the things that go along with the show," said Rich Graham of First Responders Friends.

The fire company will sell chicken corn soup, hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, ice cream, and drinks.

"People should come mainly to support the fire company," said Graham. "There is also good food the fire company puts on. It's become a big community event."

Main Street will be closed for more than a 1-mile stretch from the Conestoga Wagon Restaurant to Rineer Road. Vendors will sell automotive-related items.

Dave Lauver volunteers at the event and brings his classic vehicle. "It's a good community event and that's why I participate," he said. "It's fun to have people walking on the street."

A highlight of the event will be the second annual free Kids Car Show. Children are invited to bring a non-powered vehicle for a chance to win trophies.

"We're really trying to promote (the car show) to families," said First Responders Friends board member Mike Keiser said. "One of the really cool things is that we want to get the younger generation into the car culture. One of the things we started doing last year and we're continuing is we're going to have a free kids' car show, asking them to bring out their power wheels, big wheels, pedal cars, wagons just to get the kids excited. One thing I thought was really neat was three years ago. I was in the garage where we kept the trophies and a 9-year-old kid was looking at the trophies, and the kid said, 'I want to win a trophy too.' I thought, 'What a great idea to get the kids involved.' The cars are a big draw, but we're trying to get the families to enjoy a fun day out."
