It was a beautiful, sunny day in Venice, Florida, and for you guys up North, this was December. Each year, this small, free-admission show draws more cars than they can handle. This year, around 200 cars stayed for the day of fun. That means that they are officially moving the show next year--stay tuned for more details.
The guys putting on the show always have free food for all, and this year was no exception. They dished out 400 hamburgers, 200 hot dogs, 650 chicken wings and over 500 cans of soda. The absolute best part of the show was the generosity of the car owners. The show was accepting food donations for the less fortunate, and car owners answered with a staggering 5,000 lbs of food for the local food banks.
So if you have plans to visit Sunny Florida during the month of December, be sure to make this event one you can't miss. We'll have dates and a new location soon.
