Thank you to the thousands of people who partook in the 2012 Shakedown!  We grew by nearly 3,000 spectators, WOW!!  We had some rain early in the show which makes it 4 years in a row!!!  Bring it on mother nature!    

Shakedown #5 planning is under way. We want to keep this show our little hot rod secret, you will see less advertising from us in 2013, so mark  your calendars now so you don’t forget!  Bigger is not always better and we strive for quality not quantity.  Dates are Aug 9th and 10th, 2013. 

SHOW VEHICLES ARE FREE with a paid weekend admission. Show hours will stay the same.  Friday and Saturday, we will open at 8am for everyone.   Weekend admission will be kept the same, $10. this gets you 100% access to the show.  We contemplated raising the weekend admission to $20 to cover some additional entertainment but we have decided we want to keep this a gathering of friends. Going bigger is not the direction we want for the Shakedown.  You will still see around 20 bands, some new, some returning.  Camping area and the swap meet with be better organized and we will be ready this year for overflow camping!!!  Plus more vendors! 

We still want old school! We are looking for vehicles modified in a period correct/traditional feel!  We try not to let in stuff that doesn’t fit our theme. Our vehicle criteria is always evolving to make it more correct. If you have anything that doesn’t fit the bill, either take it off, hide it or you will be parked in the VIP parking area. We want the grounds to feel as if you were walking down a main street in 1964 or before.  Not that we don’t like modern styled cars, we just don’t want them parked in our vintage town during our traditional show. The guy parked next to you that wants the photos of his car to look just right VERY much appreciates it when you follow the rules.  Ever remember that awesome pic with the perfect backdrop that someone took of your car and there is a minivan or a tuner car parked next to you? It just ruins the shot!  Get what we are about now?  Take a look at our photos page if you are not familiar with our show.

If you have a 1948 or older stock appearing vehicle you are welcome.

If you are not pre-registered, please show up no earlier than Friday at 8am. You will NOT gain immediate camping or vending space if you show up Thursday without preregistration. We will NOT run out of camping or swap spaces, so please do not try to call to ask if there is space still available. YES THERE IS.

CALLING ALL CAR CLUBS!!!  We are in need of your help!  We want your participation.  Come as a club and get some recognition.  If you come as an organized club, we will try our best to give you parking as a group. Bring your tent, table, club sign or any other club colors and display them proudly.  We ask that you build, beg, buy, borrow or steal a trophy to give out to your favorite car/person from the show.  We will present these about 6pm in the dance hall on Saturday.
