Annual Wasco Elks Lodge Blaine Willard Memorial Car Show
Oct
5

Annual Wasco Elks Lodge Blaine Willard Memorial Car Show

Wasco Elks Lodge #2419 will present its annual car show on Saturday, Oct. 5. Since 2017, the free event will be in memory of long-time Elks Lodge member Blaine Willard.

"The Blaine Willard Memorial Car Show will be a fun day for all ages to enjoy," said Trustee Jerry Bozarth, who has been a member of the lodge since 1978. "It will commemorate a past member who did so much for the club and community. He participated in all our projects, working hard with his tireless efforts, bringing passion and love to our club."

There will be food, arts and crafts vendors, raffle prizes, a silent auction, event t-shirts, a beer garden, a bloody mary bar and music by Boom Dog and the Dixie Nuts Band.

Almost 500 people attend the event annually, both local and out of town. The proceeds will go toward the lodge's many charitable initiatives.

"Beginning in 1969, the club has given back to the community," Bozarth said.

The club's purpose is to support local organizations and causes. It provides funding for the VFW, Scouts and youth scholarships. It also sponsors wrestling teams and Toys for Tigers, gives Christmas gifts to seniors from various convalescent homes and hosts a dinner for first responders.

"We hope that with this event, we bring people together in celebration while promoting the mission of our club to be of service," Bozarth said.

He anticipates over 60 classic vehicles, including golf carts and motorcycles.

There will be an open class, under construction and motorcycle. The pre-entry fee is $30. Cars move in at 8:30 a.m., and the show starts at 10 a.m.

"We always get many nice cars, and many people admire them. There will be trophies for the winners," Bozarth said. "It will be great seeing everybody enjoying themselves and having a good time."

He said a highlight is always seeing Willard's daughter, Cindy Banducci, at the car show. "She always brings out her father's 1930 Ford and is our biggest supporter."

The event will take place at the Wasco Elks Lodge, 16694 Wasco Ave., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on car show registration or sponsorship opportunities, call Bozarth at 661-747-8831.

The Classic at Pismo - Pismo Beach, CA

The 38th Annual

Classic at Pismo Beach

May 31 – June 2, 2024

Each year, The Classic at Pismo Beach attracts people and cars from all over the United States, with some coming from as far away as Alaska and even Australia. Big 18-wheelers show up from companies like CarQuest Auto PartsMother’s PolishGM PerformanceFord Motor Co.Budweiser, and many more. The show began in the early 80’s and continues to attract the hottest classic cars each year to this tiny, serene central coast city. Every summer, cars line the streets of this little beach town where spectators enjoy cool cars and great vendors.

This event has a strong connection with participants and fans, annually raising money for important causes and organizations such as the Folds of Honor Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, and the Pismo Beach K-9 Unit. Each year, Just Cruzin’ Life Foundation holds a live charity auction where the sounds of an auctioneer can be heard from afar as donated items like cars, engines, auto accessories, art, and much more are auctioned to raise money for these great causes.

The show happens the first weekend in June, is open to all makes and models of cars, and is free to the public. Judging for this event is peer-judging based on attention to detail, interior, engine compartment, undercarriage, etc. We also award a special “Gold Class” limited to the top ten best of the best. These are hand-picked and held to a higher standard.

There is much more fun to be had at the surrounding attractions like shopping in downtown Pismo Beach, wineries located just miles up the coast, and more. Come join us for a wonderful event. It’s one you won’t want to miss!
