This year the Concours will consist of a judged section and a display only section. All vehicles will be eligible for the People’s Choice Award.

For those interested in making a weekend of it, activities for Entrants and Car Club Members will include a BBQ lunch on Saturday, Aug. 29 to welcome our off-island entrants.

Last years’ Poker Run was a big hit and will be brought back by popular demand. The Concours is a charitable event with this years’ net proceeds going to the Hospice of San Juan, ‘Round Towner Charity Taxi and Rotary’s PolioPlus.

During the past six years, nearly $50,000 has been distributed to six local charities. This has been made possible through generous donations by sponsors, entrants, and spectators.
