When is the best day to come?

Every day is a great day! Friday has less foot traffic and is great for those who want to avoid large crowds. This is the best day to meet many of the vehicle builders and car owners. All weekend the grounds will be filled with our outdoor “Grand Daddy Drive-In” cars. These cars will fill in between the buildings to give our guests an outdoor car show along with the indoor car show. This is a rain or shine event.
