According to Kristin Troop, president of the East Petersburg Events Committee, it is the mission of the East Petersburg Events Committee to sponsor and host community events, projects, activities, programs, and public improvements. In 2010, the Vagabonds Rod & Custom Club formed a partnership with the East Petersburg Events Committee to host the inaugural "Spring Kickoff" cruise, the Vagabonds Car Show. Based in Landisville, Vagabonds Rod & Custom Club was established in 1958.

The 13th annual Vagabonds Car Show will return on Saturday, May 7, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will take place at the East Petersburg Community Park, 6051 Pine St., East Petersburg.

All vehicles are welcome to be registered for the show. "It can be a truck, car, motorcycle. It doesn't even have to be custom," stated Vance Spicer, vice president of the Vagabonds Rod & Custom Club. "Last year, we had over 400 participants!"

Flamin' Dick and the Hot Rods will provide live music in the amphitheater, and there will be several vendors, food trucks, giveaways, and door prizes. Vagabonds Rod & Custom Club will hold a Chinese auction, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Hospice & Community Care. Sixty different trophies, which have sponsored by local businesses, will be awarded to registered vehicles.

"It's always a fun day in the community park filled with people, food trucks, and cool cars," said Troop.

A rain date has been set for Sunday, May 8. If the car show does not take place on May 7 or 8, then it will be postponed to Saturday, July 30.

There will be same-day registration for vehicles, and the first 200 registered participants will receive a collector's edition event glass and a quality brass collector dash plaque. For more information, contact Mark Meyer at 717-575-6252.
